At the Nickelodeon - Barbe-Bleue - Jean Painlevé 1936
Some of you may be familiar with the intriguing, early aquatic films of Jean Painlevé- all of which are mesmerizing in their groundbreaking cinematic achievement and natural subject matter. Today I've decided to highlight one of his only known non-documentary films, "Barbe-Bleue" (Bluebeard). From 1936, this is 13 minutes of whimsical and colorful stop-action animation with an operatic soundtrack...
If you'd like to sneak a peek at his documentary work, I highly recommend the Criterion Collection's "Science is Fiction: 23 Films of Jean Painlevé"

At the Nickelodeon - The Dogville Shorts
We're kicking off a Friday feature here on Babil and Bijou: At the Nickelodeon
Every Friday we will present a film clip to astound, enchant, or befuddle. We begin with a clip from the classic MGM "All Barkie Dogville Comedies". Between 1929 and 1931 Metro Goldwyn-Mayer produced 9 "talkies" featuring costumed, trained dogs in a series of short films. The collection of films is now available as a dvd. This dramatic clip features "Queenie in Trouble". Enjoy!
