Coal Face (1935)
35mm, black and white, 12 mins
Director Alberto Cavalcanti
Production Company GPO Film Unit
Production John Grierson
Verse W.H. Auden
Script Alberto Cavalcanti
Montagu Slater
Music Benjamin Britten
Commentators : W.H. Auden, Montagu Slater
Coal Face (1935) was the first influential film to be made by the GPO Film Unit. It continued the experimentation with sound effects and music first initiated in Song of Ceylon (d. Basil Wright, 1934) and Pett and Pott (d. Alberto Cavalcanti, 1934), and was described in the Film Society programme of 27 October 1935 as "an experiment in sound". What links these three films is the contribution of Alberto Cavalcanti.
Cavalcanti had been a member of the French avant-garde film movement during the 1920s and, by 1934, had established a reputation for himself as an expert on the creative use of sound and music in film. In 1934 the British documentary film movement acquired a rudimentary sound system, enabling its filmmakers to make sound films for the first time; it was at this point that Cavalcanti was appointed.
Coal Face was one of the most overtly modernist films made within the movement, comparing only to Drifters (d. John Grierson, 1929) in its use of formalist montage techniques. In addition to a montage editing style largely derived from the Soviet cinema of the 1920s, however, Coal Face also experiments extensively with a variety of sound/image relationships. Although Cavalcanti was responsible for the overall orchestration of sound and music, W.H. Auden and Benjamin Britten were also contracted to write the script and music score respectively.

A different kind of movie leading with the coal in human life and the existential landscape beneath it, is the chinese movie Black Coal, Thin Ice (Chinese: 白日焰火; pinyin: Bai Ri Yan Huo; literally: "Daylight Fireworks"), a 2014 Chinese thriller film written and directed by Diao Yinan. The film won the Golden Bear award at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival. In this case, the coal mines are the outskirts of lost souls in the depressed existence of a outpost city, cold and coaly. With a black silence shining like anthracite in the middle of the snow and ice.

COAL
Coal is the largest source of energy for the generation of electricity worldwide, as well as one of the largest worldwide anthropogenic sources of carbon dioxide releases.
Coal is extracted from the ground by coal mining, either underground by shaft mining, or at ground level by open pit mining extraction. Since 1983 the world top coal producer has been China. In 2011 China produced 3,520 million tonnes of coal – 49.5% of 7,695 million tonnes world coal production. In 2011 other large producers were United States (993 million tonnes), India (589), European Union (576) and Australia (416). In 2010 the largest exporters were Australia with 328 million tonnes (27.1% of world coal export) and Indonesia with 316 million tonnes (26.1%), while the largest importers were Japan with 207 million tonnes (17.5% of world coal import), China with 195 million tonnes (16.6%) and South Korea with 126 million tonnes (10.7%).

Émile Zola, Germinal
"Jamais la mine ne chômait, il y avait nuit et jour des insectes humains fouissant la roche, à six cents mètres sous les champs de betteraves."
"Le mineur acheva d'un geste. Son tour était arrivé, la cage avait reparu, de son mouvement aisé et sans fatigue. Il s'y accroupit avec des camarades, elle replongea, puis jaillit de nouveau au bout de quatre minutes à peine, pour engloutir une autre charge d'hommes. Pendant une demi-heure, le puits en dévora de la sorte, d'une gueule plus ou moins gloutonne, selon la profondeur de l'accrochage où ils descendaient, mais sans arrêt, toujours affamé, de boyaux géants capables de digérer un peuple. Cela s'emplissait, s'emplissait encore, et les ténèbres restaient mortes, la cage montait du vide dans le même silence vorace."
"Pas une parole n'était échangée. Ils tapaient tous, on n'entendait que ces coups irréguliers, voilés et comme lointains. Les bruits prenaient une sonorité rauque, sans un écho dans l'air mort. Et il semblait que les ténèbres fussent d'un noir inconnu, épaissi par les poussière volantes du charbon, alourdi par des gaz qui pesaient sur les yeux. Les mèches des lampes, sous leurs chapeaux de toile métallique, n'y mettaient que des points rougeâtres. On ne distinguait rien, la taille s'ouvrait ainsi qu'une large cheminée, plate et oblique, où la suie de dix hivers aurait amassé une nuit profonde. Des formes spectrales s'y agitaient, les lueurs perdues laissaient entrevoir une rondeur de hanche, un bras noueux, une tête violente, barbouillée comme pour un crime. Parfois, en se détachant, luisaient des blocs de houille, des pans et des arêtes, brusquement allumés d'un reflet de cristal. Puis tout retombait au noir, les rivelaines tapaient à grands coups sourds, il n'y avait plus que le halètement des poitrines, le grognement de gêne et de fatigue, sous la pesanteur de l'air et la pluie des sources."
"Il ne comprenait qu'une chose : le puits avalait des hommes par bouchées de vingt et de trente, et d'un coup de gosier si facile, qu'il semblait ne pas les sentir passer."
