Max Skladanowsky was the very first German filmmaker, probably the only one in the 19th century. "Akrobatisches Potpourri" is one of his movies that were edited into "Wintergartenprogramm" later on. This one here runs not even for 30 seconds and shows us the Grunato family, apparently a circus attraction back in the day. I must say I could never be able to do what they do and it's a pretty decent show. Still, it's nothing too memorable really, but it was probably a special achievement to have this scene on tape 120 years ago. That is why I will not be any harsher with my rating, even if this is not on par with what Méli?es did during that time already. All in all, not among the best and not among the worst movies from the 19th century.

As performers move across the frame as the standard-early-cinema scene would be. Something unexpected happened-the performers moved out of the frame. That's an absolutely phenomenal move, which really extended the frame Jean Renoir-like.
Delezue had proposed such an artistic strategy as "unlimited out-frame". It's not the film itself, it's the reality, film frame is just a window abstract the part of reality.
It's really unbelievable how 100 years ago, people can perceive that kind of cinema's self-antagonism, from such a part of invention of cinema. A great work.rkrkrrkrkkrkrkrkrkrkrkrkrktkr.

A group of acrobats settle into one of those formations where a bunch are standingon each other, and others are hanging from each other.
Max Skladanowwsky offered thire first public performance of a motion picture show on November 1, 1895. Unlike the Lumiere's first show, towards the end of December, his compositions were simple, showing little of the sense of photographic composition the Lumieres brought to their work.
