Mavi Boncuk |Osmanlı’nın ilk sinemacısı Fenerli Dimitri Meravidis, 1900’lerin başında Paris’e gidiyor. Lumiére Kardeşler’den hem fotoğrafı, hem de sinemayı öğreniyor. 1903’te İstanbul’a, yanında bir sinema makinesiyle dönüyor. 1927’ye kadar İstanbul’un günlük yaşamını ve önemli olaylarını görüntülüyor. 1927’de Meravidis’in Galata’daki atölyesi yanıyor, çektiği tüm filmler yok oluyor. O da Yunanistan’a gidip, orada sanat yönetmenliği yapmaya başlıyor. Lumiére’ler ve Pathé’yle yakın bir ilişkide olduğu için, Paris’e burada çektiği bütün filmlerin kopyalarını yolluyor. Yani, İstanbul’un o dönemleri Pathé’nin arşivlerinde var. Geçen yıl Atina’da, İzmir Rumları hakkında I. Dünya Savaşı’ndan Mübadele’ye kadar olan dönemi kapsayan, çok iyi bir belgesel izlemiştim.
