500 Originally produced film from 1900-1913.
500 "In the earliest years of the twentieth century,
enterprising traveling showmen in the north of England
hired pioneer filmmakers Sagar Mitchell and James Kenyon
to shoot footage of local people going about their
everyday activities. These films would be shown later at
nearby fairgrounds, town halls and neighborhood theaters.
Workers, school children, sports fans and seaside
vacationers all flocked to see themselves miraculously
captured on screen. The astonishing discovery of the
original Mitchell & Kenyon negatives in Blackburn, England
in a basement about to be demolished has been described as
film's equivalent of Tutankhamen's tomb. ...This treasure
trove of extraordinary footage provides an unparalleled
record of everyday life in the years before World War I."
