Ve zlomku vteřiny – Delisle Guy (2025)

Traveler and pioneer of cinematography, or a madman, a stubborn experimenter, and a murderer? Guy Delisle's latest comic is the story of the exceptional personality that was Eadweard Muybridge! The gold rush era in California meant big money, risky decisions, and bold dreams. It was then that Muybridge arrived in America and soon became one of the most famous photographers of his time. With the help of the richest man in the United States, Leland Stanford, he accomplished an unprecedented feat: capturing the motion of a galloping horse on photographic film. Thus, he became the one who stopped time and also the first to display film, long before Edison and the Lumière brothers. We present to you the poignant biography of cinematography pioneer Eadweard Muybridge and a panorama of the era in which he lived. Guy Delisle, known for his documentary cartoons (including Jerusalem Chronicles, Burma Chronicles, and Pyongyang), this time returns to the past and looks into the moment when photography was invented, painting's position was shaken, and cinematography began.
