Les six soeurs Dainef

Pathe Frères

A hand-colored silent film in which six women perform acrobatic tricks. There performance is extraordinary. Some of the acts look unrealistic and manipulated with special effects.

This short film is a wonderful example of how films looked like in the early days. It demonstrates a common subject of film (theatrical performances), but also how color was added in film. Les Six Soeur Dainef is part of Film Jewels Part 3: a film compilation about the history of cinema, around a theme ('Stunts')
