Kinetoscopic Memory

dir. Steve Gieseke
2017
Running time: 19 min.

In 1894, Thomas Edison invents the motion picture camera, and from then on, the world would never be the same. The Edison Company produced roughly 350 films over the next three decades. Considered together, this collection tells the story of an idealistic young America, one that dreamed of a better world for all, but created something very different. Kinetoscopic Memory is a documentary investigation of early 20th century American history seen specifically through Edison’s camera lens.
