A simple winged trick

The Pigeon Fairy (1906)

Directed by Segundo de Chomon and Gaston Velle this is an early short film with hand tinted colour. We see a young woman do some tricks with pigeons.

Using a simple reverse play back to create the visual trick this is a fairly decent short. There is not a lot to it but the combination of trick and colour is enough to hold the viewers attention. This fits in well with Chomon's other fantastical early films.


3/5
