Étienne-Jules Marey: 400 films chronophotographiques (1890-1905)

DVD containing very short films made mostly with scientific purposes, depicting athletes in motion, insects, animals, etc. The technology which was used to make the films predates the inventions of Edison and Lumière. Some of the films are available online. Also in the DVD is a 40 minute documentary about Marey; it is excellent and I intend to go back to it in the future, in order to better understand the narration in French and the technological aspects described.
