Exposing Muybridge at Cameo Cinema
Exposing Muybridge
“Exposing Muybridge,” is a terrific new documentary from PBS “Frontline” veteran and “Broken Dreams: The Boeing 787” director Marc Shaffer. Shaffer serves up a polished, brisk and entertaining documentary that details a life so colorful that Oscar winner Gary Oldman is trying to make a biography of the British expat recognized as the father of the cinema.
The film, like Muybridge, is full of mystery, playfulness, and complexity—an illuminating and engaging history lesson. Few figures have played such a seminal role in our moving picture history as the revolutionary photographer Eadweard Muybridge. His unprecedented images of running horses instantly transformed the camera into a machine of unmatched powers of perception and persuasion, and set the course for the birth of cinema.
Muybridge was a complicated man whose personal story was imbued with ambition, success, loss, and even cold-blooded murder. He directly inspired numerous artists from Francis Bacon to David Hockney to Jordan Peele to Gary Oldman, whose passionate contribution to this documentary is exceptional.
Q&A with Director, Marc Shaffer - who won the prestigious Directors Guild of America (DGA) award for Best Documentary Screenplay.
