Phonofilm: Difference between revisions

The Maurice Zouary collection at the Library of Congress holds approximately 45 films made in Phonofilm. A DVD produced by Zouary about the history of Phonofilm says that a short film of opera singers performing the Sextet from ''[[Lucia di Lammermoor]]'' was made by the "Latin American division" of Phonofilm. No further information is known about this division of Phonofilm. In 1926, DeForest released a short film referred to as ''Cuban Sound Documentary'' which included the [[Cuban national anthem]] and excerpts from ''[[The Merry Widow]]''. However, little else is known of this film or whether other Phonofilms were made in Cuba.
