Panorama from Top of a Moving Train

This highly acclaimed film is proof that Georges Méliès did indeed also shoot outdoors and is a rather pioneering work for its time. The camera is placed on the top of a moving train, capturing the passing landscape and “ducking” under bridges as we witness one of the first journeys on film, although the camera itself doesn’t move. Interestingly, this film is also listed in the Star Film catalogue as a newsreel. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
