Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer

7.2 59 mins Documentary   History   1975
University of California Los Angeles  
Director(s): Thom Andersen

Thom Andersen's remarkable and sadly neglected hour-long documentary adroitly combines biography, history, film theory, and philosophical reflection. Muybridge's photographic studies of animal locomotion in the 1870s were a major forerunner of movies; even more interesting are his subsequent studies of diverse people, photographed against neutral backgrounds.
