130 Years Ago Today: New Yorkers Get the First Movies on Demand!
On April 14, 1894, the first Kinetoscope parlor in the world opened, at 1155 Broadway in Manhattan, not far from Madison Square Park and the Garden. Originally, my headline was more specific as to the details, but I decided it’s more impressive (and just as accurate) to put it as I have.

This is the only known film created for Edison's Kinetophone that has a surviving soundtrack. The Kinetophone was an amalgamation of the Kinetoscope (a device for playing film in a personal viewer) and a phonograph that could play back recordings on wax cylinders. Unfortunately, kinetophones were unable to synchronize the footage and audio during playback. These two recordings weren't digitally synced until the 90's (courtesy of legendary film editor Walter Murch)!
Also huge shout-out to the two homies waltzing next to the violinist.

What started as "I want to make a YouTube video essay explaining what the Hays Code is" has quickly become "I can't explain the Hays Code in a vacuum, let's make an entire series explaining the comprehensive history of film censorship in the United States."
Anyway I hope people are interested in proto-film and the immediate censorship of kinetoscope reels.

Premonitions Following an Evil Deed (1995) by David Lynch
For the anthology film Lumière and Company (1995), 41 directors were tasked to make a short film using the 1890 cinematograph camera invented by the Lumiére brothers (a version of Edison’s kinetoscope).  The short film could be no longer than 52 seconds, have no more than 3 takes and would be edited in camera.
