Very Short Yet...

This very early experimental film, which is number 0000001 on this website, is very short, yet I find is really interesting. This is something that is so short yet so incredible, probably because it is an experimental film that is pre-20th century. Well all in all, this is something that it part of film history, it is a look at one of the earliest experimental films. I can't really call this a work of art or a gem of a film considering how short it is, but nevertheless, I can say that it is very important piece of film history that is worth spending less than one minute.

You should take less than a minute to watch this, because although it is extremely short, it is an important piece of film history. So all in all, this is a very short yet historical experimental film that should be seen as part of your education on film history. Most experimental films from this era really seem to fascinate somebody like me, considering the fact that I am really interested with the early history of film. Well watch this whenever you can, because you are really going to be interested with the history of this short yet interesting experimental film.

I can't really say what this is about, considering that it is not very long, but still, just watch it whenever you can, it will really interest you.
