Book Presentation:
Written in both English and French, The 9.5mm Vintage Film Encyclopaedia provides a single-volume, comprehensive catalogue of all known 9.5mm film releases, including:
Films: Comprising 12,460 individual entries, this A-Z reference index provides the main listing for each film and its origin where known, along with additional information including cast and crew, and cross references to other relevant material.
People: This index of all known actors and film crew, comprising over 12,000 names, provides a listing which is cross referenced to the main entry for each original film they worked on.
Numbers: Pathé-Baby/Pathéscope and other distributors’ catalogue numbers, film length, release dates (where known) and the series in which the films were organised, are set out in detail.
With a foreword from eminent film historian and filmmaker, Keith Brownlow, this extensively researched text explains the importance of the 9.5mm film, from its beginnings in the early 1920s to becoming synonymous with Home Cinema throughout Europe. Readers will also find a brief technical explanation on how 9.5mm films were produced, along with relevant images.

Book Presentation:
Après plus de 40 ans de recherche, Patrick Moules publie un livre de référence en fournissant un catalogue complet de tous les films édités en 9,5 mm.
Le film 9,5 mm a été introduit au début des années 1920. En quelques années, il est devenu synonyme de « Cinéma chez soi » dans toute l'Europe et dans une grande partie du reste du monde.
Les recherches sans précédent de Patrick Moules retracent méthodiquement l’histoire de l’édition de ces films.
Les principaux textes de l’ouvrage sont en anglais et en français. L’ouvrage est richement illustré, en noir et blanc.
THE 9.5mm VINTAGE FILM ENCYCLOPAEDIA comprend :
- Un index multi-langue de plus de 12 000 titres de films originaux, avec l’indication de production, de distribution et les principaux crédits.
- Un index de personnalité des réalisateurs, acteurs et équipes de tournage, comprenant 12 055 noms, et plus de 200 portraits reproduits à partir de photogrammes 9,5 mm par Gerald McKee.
- Un index par numéro de film aux catalogues Pathé-Baby / Pathéscope et d'autres distributeurs, la durée du film, les dates de sortie et la série dans laquelle les films ont été édités. Cet index fournit un historique de distribution des films 9,5 mm.
- Un avant-propos illustré, en anglais et en français, de Kevin Brownlow.
- Des textes historiques sur le 9,5 mm, en particulier sur le Pathé-Baby et le Pathéscope, soit une version très développée de l’étude commencée dans les années 1980 par Paul Van Someren.
