Director: Eadweard Muybridge
United States (currently United States of America) | Northern America | North America
1887 | 1880s | 19th Century

Eadweard Muybridge must have been far more interested in artistic representation rather than science when shooting "Child Bringing Bouquet to Woman" (1887). Granted there is movement, but the warmth of emotions is telling in this rare proto-cinematic attempt at story writing.



2. Man Walking Around the Corner
Director: Louis Le Prince
United Kingdom (formerly United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland) | Northern Europe | Europe
1887 | 1880s | 19th Century

In time, "Man Walking Around the Corner" (1887) stays as just one simple, yet ambitious, experiment. Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince's 16-lens camera is a significant milestone towards the discovery of film, and its output is without question an important artifact in the archaeology of cinema.
