A Trick of the Light

Movie · 1h 19m

Starring Udo Kier, Otto Kuhnle, Christoph Merg, Nadine Büttner

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.
