    “Equally delighted was Bill McFarland, the donor who had driven the box of films from his home in Grand Rapids, Michigan…

    His great-grandfather, William Delisle Frisbee, had been a potato farmer and schoolteacher in western Pennsylvania by day, but by night he was a traveling showman. He drove his horse and buggy from town to town to dazzle the locals with a projector and some of the world’s first moving pictures...“

  8. Long-lost Georges Méliès robot film restored by Library of Congress : NPR

    A screenshot from George Mélière's Gugusse et l'Automate. The pioneering French filmmaker's 1897 short, which likely features the first known depiction of a robot on film, was thought lost until it was found among a box of old reels...

  9. #Cinematography in 1902 was nowhere near advanced enough to fake a #moonLanding so we have to accept Georges #Méliès' <<Le voyage dans la lune>> as a record of the first successful French moon shot.

    It's a shame that they lost their #moonBase to the NAZIs in 1940 & never got it back.

  11. 55 years ago today. And my #Apollo11 landing commemorative t-shirt arrived just in time for it. My father helped develop guidance systems for the Apollo lunar lander, it’s amazing that they succeeded with the technology of that time.

    E pensare che, a un certo punto della sua vita, andato pressoché fallito e quasi dimenticato dal cinema che stava prendendo una forma più narrativa, decise di distruggere tutte le sue opere. Così, quelle giunte sino a noi vengono dal recupero delle pellicole sparse nelle varie cineteche del mondo.
