BFI: 101 Hidden Gems: The Greatest Films You've Never Seen. "Hailing from every continent but Antarctica and spanning more than 120 years, this selection is, in its way, as representative of the riches of cinema history as that other list we released at the end of last year. Fiction rubs shoulders with nonfiction, films made by collectives sit alongside hand-crafted animation, and a healthy dose of comedy sidles up to heartbreaking drama – and then there are the films that defy all categorisation."
I tracked down a few of these on YouTube and other places:
- Léontine's Electric Battery (1910)
- How A Mosquito Operates (1912)
- Scenes of City Life (1935)
- Olivia (1951)
- The Parallel Street (1962)
- Of Stars and Men (1964)
- My Survival as an Aboriginal (1978)
- Leila and the Wolves (1984)
- Two Sisters (1991)
- Revolver (1994)
- Bread Day (1998)
- I Am the One Who Brings Flowers to Her Grave (2006)
- Waru (2017)
- The Burial of Kojo (2018)
