A comprehensive survey of one of cinema's most influential figures, Edison: The Invention of the Movies is a monumental collection of 140 archival motion pictures. From 19th-century camera tests never intended for public screening to the last feature-length film released by the Thomas A. Edison Studios in 1918 (The Unbeliever), the collection is digitally mastered with newly recorded musical scores, surrounded by a wealth of historical documents and interviews with leading film archivists and historians.
