Abstract
The British Kinemacolor was the first direct color capture filming system to achieve commercial success. Through this mechanical-photographic process, successive black and white frames were impressed through two color filters (red and green), and later, projected through the same coloured lights to produce color images taking advantage of the additive nature of light colours. The first Kinemacolor catalogue, published in 1913, included fiction and documentary films. Among this pictures we find several travel films shot around the world. Spain was one of the countries visited by the Kinemacolor camera operators who, among other destinations, traveled to the islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria, where they filmed which are possibly the first pictures shot in color in the Islands.
