Dranem Performs The True Jiu-Jitsu is a 1905 music documentary directed by Alice Guy. This short film features Armand Dranem in a pioneering music video format, showcasing the early intersection of film and music.
The film is relatively scarce, being one of those phonoscenes that often slips under the radar of mainstream collectors. Its historical significance as an early example of the music video format adds to its appeal. There’s a niche interest among collectors who appreciate the interplay of sound and vision in cinema’s infancy. Formats vary, but finding a clean copy is becoming increasingly difficult as time goes on.
