Welcome back to Hard Knocks Film School!

This week we will be discussing the few surviving films from 1889 to 1891, when the “moving pictures” were still busy being invented. What survives from this period are experimental films or “actualités”.

New characters arriving on the scene this week are Wordsworth Donisthorpe, William Friese-Greene, and William K Dickson.
