The foundations of cinema from cave paintings to the invention of the chronophotographic gun. Visit the show's website at historyoffilmpodcast.com. If you want to get in touch, I would love to hear from you! my email is, predictably, historyoffilmpodcast@gmail.com. Audio from movies are used here as transitions, to spice up the show and to remind us where the show is going; clips are from Casablanca (1942), The Maltese Falcon (1941),  and Rushmore (1999). Jake from the future here! Edgar Degas is not a filmmaker he is  a painter. I misread the book I was using when I referenced this. If we do, for some reason, talk about Degas, it will not be in the context of filmmaking, because he... wasn't a filmmaker.Yours,-Jake12 April 2021Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/historyoffilm)
