Flashback: Cinematic Retrievals
Who turned off the lights? Who illuminated the screen? How did people come together in a single hall, eyes transfixed on a story conjured by images?
A leap back in time offers crucial clues. A cinematic recollection, this course takes us to Paris in 1895, to the Lumière brothers’ Cinématographe and the legendary train that terrified the first film audiences. The invention surpassed Thomas Edison’s Kinetoscope, paving the way for the magician Georges Méliès to propel film even farther into the realms of imagination and fantasy.
