Edison Films

As I promised, here's the link to the Library of Congress and the Edison films they have digitized. Have a little fun with this, guys. I'll also make it a permanent link on the right hand side of the blog in case you want to go back to the early cinema later in the course...

Here's the link.

Blog Response #2

Read about Edison, Lumiere Brothers, Melies, and Porter at EarlyCinema.com.

Watch at least 3 films from Edison, Lumiere Brothers, and Melies on your own. Go to the Internet Archive, select "Moving Images" from the drop down menu and search for each director. Be sure to use your screening sheets for each film you watch.
