IMDb title #0000001: ‘Carmencita’ (1894, William K.L. Dickson)

Listen, it’s forty seconds long. A professional dancer dances for the camera on a small stage. End film. Great fun! Made in Edison’s very own Black Maria film studio, this film is very much like a great deal of other films produced by Edison’s production house. It doesn’t tell a narrative through modern or prototypical film language as much as it merely allows action to take place in front of the camera.
