The First Films | December 5 and 6

Film: Ever wanted to see the earliest film ever made? What was the first kiss captured on film? The first comedy? The first western? See them all as the Film House brings you a collection of the very first steps taken into the world of cinema.  Travel to a haunted house, rob a train, and take a trip to the moon's eye in a wonderful evening discovering the magic of film.

 

Enoy these films as they were meant to be enjoyed, with a live piano player, live sound effects, and authentic movie concessions from the era. Please remember to tip the piano player.

Preshow Dinner Disscussion: It all started with one question. Does a horse have all four feet off the ground when trotting? Eadweard Muybridge ventured to find the answer, and in the process changed the world as we know it. Learn what he did, how he did it, and what it led to. You think Thomas Edison only invented the light bulb? Think again. Was Hollywood the hotbed of early film? Try New Jersey. Discover everything you wanted to know about the whos, whats, whys and wheres of the birth of cinema.
