RETROFORMAT PRESENTS THE GENESIS OF AN ART: FILM TO 1908, approx 90 min. From the Lumiere Brothers' grand views of old New York to Georges Melies' fantastic “A Trip to the Moon,” we will enjoy some of the wittiest, most beautiful and thought-provoking primitives, including early experiments in filmic storytelling, from Porter to Pathe, preserved on amazing 8mm prints.
