Our main feature is The Assassination of the Duke of Guise (1908), directed by Charles le Bargy and André Calmettes. A historical drama, it's famous because Camille Saint-Saëns was asked to write music to accompany the film, making it the second ever original score. The Assassination joins other french shorts by illusionist and film director Georges Méliès from 1900-1910. These films will be paired with baroque music connected to Saint-Saëns, who edited the first complete works of Jean-Philippe Rameau.
