Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer

Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer by Thom Andersen

7.20

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.
