Welcome to 1895! This is an exciting year for film—competition is ramping up to master the art of the moving picture. 
Two sets of brothers would ultimately win this race—the Lumiére brothers and the Skladanowsky brothers. 
This week we’ll be discussing where and when these first film showings took place, and, more importantly, we discussed the films that were viewed on this historical days.

Welcome back to Hard Knocks Film School!

This week it’s 1894 and the lucky few with working cameras are figuring out what to point them at.

Get ready for brief vaudeville routines, questionable dances, and scantily-clad boxing. They did their best.

Welcome back to Hard Knocks Film School!

This week we will be discussing the few surviving films from 1889 to 1891, when the “moving pictures” were still busy being invented. What survives from this period are experimental films or “actualités”.
