January The Bioscope. Charles Dickens portrayed in Dickens London UK 1. Let Dickens and the whole ancestral array, going back as far as the Greeks and Shakespeare, be superfluous reminders that both Griffith and our cinema prove our origins to be not solely as of Edison and his fellow inventors, but as based on an enormous cultured past each part of this past in its own moment of world history has moved forward the great art of cinematography. Sergei Eisenstein. As I write this, in Rochester, Kent, I can look out of my window at the corner of St Margaret Street where, ninety nine years ago, John Bunny drove past in a carriage, dressed as Mr Pickwick for the turning camera handles of the Vitagraph Company of America. And yesterday and today, on BBC television, we saw a fevered The Mystery of Edwin Drood, much of it filmed fifty yards away in the grounds and centre of Rochester cathedral. Here is the heart of Dickens, and the heart of a grand cinematographic tradition. Charles Dickens was born two hundred years ago, and his great legacy is being celebrated with books, exhibitions, festivals, conferences, programmes and film seasons. His superabundant influence on cinema and television has been recognised in particular, with a three month film season at the BFI Southbank underway, an Arena documentary Dickens on Film with copious examples from the silent cinema and new television productions of Drood and Great Expectations.

Charlie Chaplin perhaps the most Dickensian of all filmmakers loved his works, reading Oliver Twist many times over. It was not just Dickens the novelist who inspired the first filmmakers but Dickens the lover of theatre and the many stage dramatisations of his work. Dickenss work naturally spilled out of the pages that could not fully contain them onto other dramatic platforms the stage, the recital, the magic lantern, the cinema.

As a contribution to the Dickens bicentenary, and by way of demonstrating his great importance to early film, we have put together a filmography for Dickens and silent cinema. It may be the most extensive yet published it certainly tries to clear up some of the confusion to be found in listings elsewhere, though there are still problematic corners, and doubtless films still to be identified. It lists both fiction arranged under the works that inspired them and non fiction films, and notes where films still exist as far as I can discover, and if they are available online or DVD. Where it says afilm is lost, this should not be taken as definitive, as some films will be held privately noted here as Extant where I have information on these.
