Flutter by


Japanese Butterflies (1908)

Directed by Segundo de Chomon this is an early short film. We see a silk worm come to life.

Mixing various types of trick photography this is a fairly decent special effects film. Unfortunately like so many of Chomon's films this one has white people in yellow face. An interesting diversion but has not aged well in all regards.

2/5
