How did we get here? and more importantly Where are we?




An upcoming exhibition at the at the Hirshhorn Museum in the Smithsonian
The Cinema Effect: Illusion, Reality, and the Moving Image

"the very boundaries between “real life” and make-believe are often indistinct—sometimes to the point of being indecipherable"

"blurring of definitions of fact and fiction"

"reality verses illusion that is inherent to film"

My goal in this blog is to explore the history of motion pictures through links, clips and ideas. From
Lumière and Edison to topics such as "CINEMA: THE AUDIENCES OF TOMORROW"
from this years Cannes film festival.

I am obsessed with film and have been absorbing the image for almost sixty years. For more than twenty years I have worked at one of the best video stores in the world. I am a student of film and will use this blog to further my (and hopefully your) education.
