Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer (1975)

7.2 | Sep 28, 1975 (US) | Documentary, History | 00:59

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.
