The first wave of cinema

 Dickson Greeting (1891)


Directed by William K. L. Dickson and William Heise this is an early short film. A man waves to the audience.


This is a blink and you'll miss it film being barely three seconds long but a huge improvement in image quality over the Monkeyshine films. The image is clear and crisp. While there might not be a lot to this short it is still a major milestone in American cinema.


3/5
