The Acrobatic Fly

UK 1910

Percy Smith's films of various insects seen juggling tiny objects caused an absolute furore when they were first shown to the public in 1908. This was unlike anything cinemagoers had seen [...] The filmmaker was forced to justify his methods in the press, guaranteeing that there was no trickery involved and certainly no cruelty. (Jenny Hammerton, BFI)
