ZOO PRAXISCOPE

A film dedicated to Edward Muybridge (1830-1904), an English photographer, film pioneer and creator of the zoopraxiscope, a projector for illuminating moving images. The film uses his footage and presents his creative method. All this with the humour and subtle charms of the first projections, set to the rhythm of Janusz Hajdun’s piano music.
