Dulac, Germaine

Dulac, Germaine
(Germaine Charlotte Saisset-Schneider / November 17, 1882, Amiens, Somme, France - July 20, 1942, Paris, France)
   Born into a family of industrialists, she was raised by her grandmother in Paris. After studying various arts, including opera, dance, and music, she married writer and journalist Marie-Louis-Albert Dulac in 1905. A militant suffragette, she collaborated on Marguerite Durant's feminist newspaper La Fronde and to La Française (1906-1913), the organ of the French suffragette movement in which she pub­lished theater criticism. Her meeting with actress Stacia Napierkowska led her to cinema in 1914. The following year, she created a production company run by her husband that successively was named Krishna, Delia, and then D.H. Film. She co-produced La Lumière du Coeur (Edmond Van Daële, 1916) and supervised the shootings of Mon Paris (Albert Guyot, 1927) and Le Picador (Lucien Jaquelux, 1932). Her name remained linked to avant-garde cinema. She was a film theorist and the permanent secretary of the French cine-club movement.
