The Lumiere Brothers First films (1895)
A collection of short films made by the Lumiere brothers, a team of pioneering filmmakers in turn-of-the-century France.
Annabelle Serpentine Dance(1894)
Annabelle Serpentine Dance one of several
silent films produced and distributed by Edison Manufacturing Company in
the late 19th century. Each depicts the popular serpentine dance
performed by Annabelle Whitford. Many of the prints were distributed in
color
Experimental Sound Film (1894-1895)
In the early 1890s, Edison and Dickson also
devised a prototype sound-film system called the Kinetophonograph or
Kinetophone - a precursor of the 1891 Kinetoscope with a
cylinder-playing phonograph (and connected earphone tubes) to provide the
unsynchronized sound. The projector was connected to the phonograph
with a pulley system, but it didn't work very well and was difficult to
synchronize. It was formally introduced in 1895, but soon proved to be
unsuccessful since competitive, better synchronized devices were also
beginning to appear at the time. The first known (and only surviving)
film with live-recorded sound made to test the Kinetophone was the
17-second Dickson Experimental Sound Film (1894-1895).
Carmencita (1894)
A short film (about 21 seconds long) titled
Carmencita (1894) was directed and produced by Edison's employee William
K.L. Dickson. She was filmed March 10-16, 1894 in Edison's Black Maria
studio in West Orange, NJ.
Spanish dancer Carmencita was the first woman to appear in front of an Edison motion picture camera, and quite possibly the first female to appear in a US motion picture. In some cases, the projection of the scandalous film on a Kinetoscope was forbidden, because it revealed Carmencita's legs and undergarments as she twirled and danced.
This was one of the earliest cases of censorship in the moving picture industry.
