Gance, Abel

Gance, Abel (1889–1981)

French film director. He was known for his grandiose melodramas and historical epics. Napoléon (1927) was one of the most ambitious silent epic films. It featured colour tinting and triple-screen sequences, as well as multiple-exposure shots, and helped further the technological and aesthetic development of the film medium.

Among his other films are J'Accuse/I Accuse! (1918), La Roue/The Wheel (1922), Un grand amour de Beethoven/The Life and Loves of Beethoven (1936), and Austerlitz (1960). Gance was also a pioneer in stereophonic sound.
