A Trick of the Light (1995)

5.8 | Nov 28, 1995 (DE) | Drama, Documentary | 01:19

A rare gem of cinematic storytelling that weaves docudrama, fictional reenactment, and experimental photography into a powerful, reflective work on the early days of German cinema. The film tells the story of the Skladanowsky Brothers, the German-born duo responsible for inventing the "bioskop", an early version of the film projector.
