A rare gem of cinematic storytelling that weaves docudrama, fictional reenactment, and experimental photography into a powerful, reflective work on the early days of German cinema. The film tells the story of the Skladanowsky Brothers, the German-born duo responsible for inventing the "bioskop", an early version of the film projector.
A Trick of the Light was directed by Wim Wenders.
A Trick of the Light runs for 1h 19min, and was released in 1995.
