A Trick of the Light

Original title: Die Gebrüder Skladanowsky

★ 6.2 TMDB Rating · 19 votes

A rare gem of cinematic storytelling that weaves docudrama, fictional reenactment, and experimental photography into a powerful, reflective work on the early days of German cinema. The film tells the story of the Skladanowsky Brothers, the German-born duo responsible for inventing the "bioskop", an early version of the film projector.
