Empire of Cinema (Warning Screens)

Background

These are the warning screens of Israeli home video company Empire of Cinema

Screen (1983-1984)

Visuals: On a pink background, the Hebrew word "אזהרה" "WARNING!" is being handwritten in a black marker. The background changes to red, and the person writes the following:

"כל הזכויות לסרט זה

שייכות בלעדית לחברת

אימפריה של קולנוע בס"מ.

אין להעתיק סדר עצה ואיין

להקרין במקומות ציבוריים.

סרט זה הינו לשימוש ביתי

פרטי בלבד."

written in black marker. The writer appears to be a woman with black hair and a pink shirt, which we can see her face during some shots, with her writing out the warning header in a red background. After its finished, the text goes to an address and a phone number in red on a light red background, then the screen fades out.

Technique: Live-action.

Audio: A portion of Vangelis' "Alpha", continuing from the logo.

Availability: May be found on old Hebrew VHS and Beta tapes of the time released by the company. Go to Israel and look for VHS tapes with a Empire of Cinema print.
