Rough Sea at Dover
This article looks at the production of the key early film Rough Sea at Dover so that its precise authorship and origin can be determined.

Paul is seen to be only tangentially influential on Acres’s film-mak…

With examples drawn from both the technological artefacts of early cinema (…
