It was inevitable, I suppose, that W. K. L. Dickson would show up one of the shorts he shot for British Biograph, showing off his new 68mm format. It's not just Dickson, but his wife and young daughter, who wanders towards the camera, then returns.... probably imeplled by one of Dickson's assistants.
The detail offered by this format, ad well as the excellence of the restoration by the British Film Institute and the Eye Institute, is terrific.
