1905 E2 - Dan Willard

Charles Musser considers it one of Porter's most radical films condemning class bias in the justice system and it's one of the first American social dramas.
1905 E2 - Dan Willard
Q: What's significant about 'Rescued by Rover'?
It marks a key stage in the medium's development from an amusing novelty to the seventh art and possibly highlights the only point in film history where British cinema led the world.
1905 E2 - Dan Willard
Q: What stands out to you about 1905 this year in particular?
I would say 1905, 1903, those years. I think the company Pathé stands out as they were producing the most influential films during that time.

Yes, La Fono Cinema Theater was involved in early cinema innovations, promoting technology combining moving images with synchronized sound.
