	Dickson Experimental Sound Film 1895
		An Edison film from 1895 of William Kennedy Laurie Dickson (the real inventor of motion pictures at Edison's lab) playing a violin into a big megaphone, with two of Edison's guys dancing.
		Problem was the film was shot at 40fps, not 24, and the sound was running wild on a cracked 1890's cylinder.
		It was very moving, when the sound finally fell into synch: the scratchiness of the image and the sound dissolved away and you felt the immediate presence of these young men playing around with a fast-emerging technology.

	One hundred Years of Film Sizes. Almost one hundred film widths and perforations were experimented with.
		Whereas film equipment has undergone drastic changes in the course of a century it is a little miracle that 35mm has remained the universally accepted film size.
		Films from 10 to 15 meter lengths in special containers were for rent from Edison depots or by mail.
		An optimum use of the film width was obtained by expanding the image and reducing the size of the perforations on both sides.

	National Film Registry Titles of the US Library of Congress
		The films in the National Film Registry represent a stunning range of American filmmaking - including Hollywood features, documentaries, avant-garde and amateur productions, films of regional interest, ethnic, animated and short film subjects -- all deserving recognition, preservation and access by future generations.
		But they are films that continue to have cultural, historical or aesthetic significance -- and in many cases represent countless other films also deserving of recognition.
		For each title named to the Registry, the Library of Congress works to ensure that the film is preserved for all time, either through the Library's massive motion picture preservation program at Dayton, Ohio, or through collaborative ventures with other archives, motion pictures studios, and independent film makers.

		Apart from these feature films, each disc has been carefully arranged to present a balanced and fascinating variety of short films in chronological order, lasting from about 1 to 20 minutes and covering advertisements, documentaries, promotional material, educational films and some surpringly good early experiments with color and sound.
		Each of these films are still capable of drawing modern viewers into their story, despite their age and, for the early movies, the limitations of the techniques available to the film-maker.
		Five film archives have made it their mission to save what remains of these first decades of American film: the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, George Eastman House, The Library of Congress, The Museum of Modern Art and the UCLA Film and Television Archive.

	DVD Savant Review: More Treasures from American Film Archives 1894-1931
		For their second release, the National Film Preservation Foundation concentrates on an older selection of one-of-a-kind films that chart in minute detail the development of the film form before it was taken over by Hollywood production.
		The films are arranged on three discs in an easily navigated menu system that shuttles one quickly between content without a lot of animation...
		They attack their film comments with everything they've got, and their theories about the effects of static scenes or the meaning of doors in sets are intriguing - even when I don't agree with them.

	Silent DVD at DVD Talk
		One of the problems with being a silent film buff is that after a while it is hard to find early films to view.
		Ironically in a film that is railing against social injustices, the fl porter on the train is played by a white man in fl face.
		In these three films we see men working on large generators on a factory floor, women wrapping copper wire around generator cores (it is interesting to note that all of the women are in full length dresses,) and a scene of hundreds people leaving the factory at the end of the day.

	Amazon.com: The Movies Begin - A Treasury of Early Cinema, 1894-1913: DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		That period--from 1894 to 1913--saw movies develop at a breakneck pace, from the earliest "actualities" of the Lumière brothers in France to D.W. Griffith's audacious development of dramatic action in the Biograph shorts of the early 1910s.
		There are quite a few films from the infancy of cinema, when the camera was used to create scenes that are really the equivalent of postcards, where a still camera would have produced the same effect.
		Film notes included on the disc itself are very interesting, but the edition as a whole simply yields for a booklet which could accompany you while watching.

		This is a fantastic compilation because not only are many of the films rare and historically interesting, most of them are very enjoyable also. There are many films that you'll want to view multiple times for the sheer entertainment value. I've already watch A Bronx Morning several times, screening it for friends and family.
		(1894) 1 min.: These are short filmed segments from Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. The acts include Annie Oakley and her sharp shooting, an Indian Buffalo Dance, and a man riding a bucking bronco.
		The commentaries that accompanied these films was, again, very interesting. Usai talks about the various color techniques used in the films, and explains how they were different from each other. He also talks about how the image on the DVD compares to the original nitrate print, and the purpose and limitations of restoration.

	Microfilmmaker Magazine - Mission - Page 1
		These are the sort of people who are so passionate about making films that they might go hungry in order to be able to make a film they are creating.
		We use the term 'film' loosely, because those who make films for less than $30,000 can rarely afford the expenses of actually shooting on 'film.' As such, they are the ones who most often experiment with digital film, digital video, and high definition mediums.
		The last part is especially worthy of note, because, we at Microfilmmaker are so bent on making your films better, we actually will do three critiques on a single film: a rough critique, a semi-final critique, and a final critique.

		Those who produced some of the most inventive and experimental short films of the time went on to make it big in Hollywood, but their earliest work contains a rebellious spirit that is lacking in their later studio pictures.
		These incredible films, by luminaries including savant Orson Welles, Russian montage maestro Sergei Eisenstein, pioneering director D.W.

	Silent Era : DVD : Unseen Cinema: Early American Avant-Garde Film (1894-1947) Review
		Anthology Film Archives worked in collaboration with many of the world’s leading film archives to prepare preservation and restoration masters of these rarely-seen films, many of which have not been available to the public since their creation — some never screened in public — until 2001.
		The film is quite advanced in production techniques for its time (although the giant isn’t much of one at all) and features a number of special effects, dissolves and stop-action transitions.
		The film is accompanied by an orchestral music score composed by Alec Wilder, transferred from the film print’s optical soundtrack in fluttering mono.

	EARLY FILM 'TREASURES'
		Industrial films, originally meant to instruct workers or promote a company's name in the business world, today reveal the working conditions of 100 years ago.
		Narrative dramatic films are featured, including a 1909 D.W. Griffith film, "The Country Doctor," which stars a very young Mary Pickford and Florence Lawrence, the American cinema's first movie star.
		The film is extraordinary for the effect the director is able to get with a relatively static camera.

		Twenty seconds of Annie Oakley and her rifle also from 1894, 14 pastoral minutes of D.W. Griffith's "The Country Doctor," and 1910's silent debut of "The Wonderful World of Oz" – compressed into 13 dreamy minutes – prep "The Invaders" (1912), a gripping Western possibly ghost-directed by John Ford.
