Journey through a century of celluloid in Halas and Batchelor’s The History of the Cinema, a 1957 animated film that condenses 100 years of movie magic into ten minutes of biting satire. This "biography" of the silver screen is a whirlwind blend of historical fact and playful fiction, tracing the evolution of sight from the ancient camera obscura to the Lumière brothers' revolutionary inventions.
