Arrest in Chinatown, San Francisco, Cal. (1897)
Directed by James H. White this is an early short film. We see a Chinese immigrant taken away by the police for an unknown crime.
Despite the wordy title there is not a huge amount to this short film. The first shot carries on far too long after the subjects exit frame and we never find out why the man is arrested. Not the best early film but probably one of the first to be made up of more than one shot.
2/5
