| Le Cinéma du Peuple was an anarchist film production cooperative active from 1913 to 1914. It is generally considered the first left-wing activist group to engage in film production. Its members included revolutionary syndicalists and anarcha-feminists. The cooperative is also known for creating Les Misères de l'aiguille (Miseries of the Needle) (1914), likely the first feminist film, and La Commune! Du 18 au 28 mars 1871 (1914), the first film about the Paris Commune. The film had a significant impact on the political consciousness of French society at the time. |
