Interviews with: Steven Higgins, Charles Musser, Patrick Loughney, Michele Wallace, Eileen Bowser, Paul Israel, Richard Koszarski.Summary: This documentary is a comprehensive survey of one of cinema's most influential figures. From 19th-century camera tests never intended for public screening to the last feature-length film released by the Thomas A. Edison studios in 1918 (The Unbeliever), the collection is digitally mastered with newly recorded musical scores, surrounded by a wealth of historical documents and interviews with leading film archivists and historians. Films Include: Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze, Annie Oakley, Sandow, The Execution of Mary Queen of Scots, The John C. Rice- Mary Irwin Kiss, Fatima, Muscle Dancer, The Black Diamond Express, Mr. Edison at work in His Chemical Laboratory, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Great Train Robbery, The Gay Shoe Clerk, Life of an American Fireman, The Kleptomaniac, Coney Island at Night, The White Caps, The "Teddy" Bears, Cohen's Fire Sale, Rescued from an Eagle's Nest, College Chums, The House of Cards, The Passer-by, The Lone Game, The Unbeliever.Summary: Commercial motion pictures were invented at the Edison Laboratory between 1888 and 1893. Perhaps none of the component parts were strictly new, but the ability of Edison and his staff to reorganize them for a specific purpose was an extraordinary cultural achievement. In 1894, Edison was the sole producer of motion pictures in the world. Many Edison films continue to be impressive as the company employed such accomplished early directors as John Collins and Alan Crosland.
