EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the British Film Institute, we are transported back to the set of Tod Browning's iconic film "Where East is East" in 1929. The image captures a moment of camaraderie and collaboration between four remarkable individuals who played pivotal roles in shaping the world of cinema. At the forefront stands Henry Sharpe, an esteemed cameraman whose expertise behind the lens brought countless stories to life. His keen eye for detail and technical prowess ensured that every frame captured on film was nothing short of perfection. Standing beside him is none other than Lon Chaney, known as "The Man of a Thousand Faces". With his unparalleled talent for transformative performances and mastery of makeup artistry, Chaney became one of Hollywood's most revered actors during the silent era. Completing this remarkable quartet is Lupe Velez, a Mexican-born actress whose beauty and charisma captivated audiences worldwide. Her presence on screen was magnetic, leaving an indelible mark on early cinema. Together with director Tod Browning, these four visionaries embarked on a cinematic journey that would transport viewers to exotic lands while exploring themes of cultural identity and forbidden love. Their collective efforts resulted in a timeless masterpiece that continues to inspire filmmakers today. This print serves as a testament to their collaborative spirit and dedication to their craft. It allows us to glimpse behind-the-scenes into the magic-making process that shaped early cinema history.
