Somme documentaries, and others: p.s.


p.s. Further confusing the facts, the liner notes for disc 1 on the DVD set Unseen Cinema: Early American Avant-Garde Film, say that the photo of Billy Bitzer and his camera on Engine No. 856 is from 1896, in Boston.  However, note that disc 1 ("The Mechanized Eye") includes no films from 1896, or from pre-1900 for that matter.
