Hollywood Babel: Ep. 6 - The First Flickers of Film in America, Pt. 1 Hollywood Babel

    • Filmes históricos

So far we’ve met the giants of early film, the Lumieres, the Brits, and even the Central European cineastes, from German meister Oscar Messter to less famous Russians, Poles, and Austrian filmmakers. This episode takes us to the first flickers of film in America with Thomas Edison's film factory and his lab techs who did the legwork to manufacture the first movies. We'll also meet less familiar pioneers such as Thomas Armat, C. Francis Jenkins, Edward Amet, George K. Spoor, George Kleine, Enoch Rector, Col. Woodville Latham and the Latham brothers.
