Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer (1975)
• September 29th, 1975 • 0h 59min
Documentary, History
Overview
Thom Andersen's remarkable and sadly neglected hour-long documentary adroitly combines biography, history, film theory, and philosophical reflection. Muybridge's photographic studies of animal locomotion in the 1870s were a major forerunner of movies; even more interesting are his subsequent studies of diverse people, photographed against neutral backgrounds.
