Have you seen Alice Guy-Blaché's Race for the Sausage?
It is legitimately among the most entertaining films I've ever seen.

I was going through well liked short films from the early days of cinema that I hadn't yet seen.
There aren't many! I've seen well over half of the well received and reasonably preserved short films made prior to 1910.
Somehow, this one had slipped by me, though.
So I watched it for the first time a day or two ago. It was really great.
Give me fifteen minutes, I'll have it up on @archives
lmao, okay, 40+ minutes apparently.
Okay, it's up now.
This is Alice Guy's Race for the Sausage from 1907
I love early film. I love movies in general, really, but I've watched a lot of early films, but this one feels less like something from 1907 and more like something that'd be shot for youtube or instagram in 2017.
It's cute, enjoy it.

@ajroach42 okay this was excellent as advertised, definitely adding this to the zine!
@ajroach42 That is DELIGHTFUL!
@ajroach42 you really add such wonderful things to my to-review pile for my public domain review zine! This kind of discovery / curation is gold.
@LeoKirke The whole thing is 4 minutes long: https://vod.newellijay.tv/w/wc2qLPEtBQxukC4s2zT9kh
