Abstract:This book marks the arrival of projected film in commercial spaces in Britain in 1896, and is the first publication to be devoted to the pioneer film-makers George Albert Smith and James Williamson. They both lived and worked in Hove and the Brighton area - it was here that they built their film studios and made some of the most important films in the early history of cinema.
