O programu

‘Phantom rides’ were films taken from the front of moving vehicles – very often trains and trams — and were a very popular genre in early filmmaking. This unidentified fragment is perhaps the beginning of a longer phantom ride film, however, with the faces of the three figures hard to see, and the view from the mouth of the tunnel slightly obscured, it is difficult to identify where and when the film might have been made.

Going Through the Tunnel (1898)

One of the best known movies from the early days of cinema was THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY and what’s so funny is that the film really broke down so many doors for what was to follow. What most people might not know is that earlier films featured trains and apparently movie goers of the day really loved them because there were so many made by so many different studios. This Edison film was a part of their Souther Pacific Company Series and runs just under 50-seconds. The film shows a train going through a tunnel, coming out and then heading across a bridge. Yes, that’s pretty much all there is to see here but fans of early cinema will love it because not only do we get to see the old train but it gives us other glimpses into what life was like in 1898. We get to see some old clothing as well as the environment that was filmed over a hundred years ago. Those who don’t enjoy these types of films certainly won’t have their opinions change by watching this but if you enjoy this type of thing then this one here is a real joy.

View from an Engine Front — Train Leaving Tunnel

They called them «phantom rides» — these hugely popular films gave audiences the spooky sensation of movement while sitting still. Early film-makers would attach their cameras to trains and film the changing views. This particular film plays an extra trick on the audience, starting with a static shot of a train coming towards the camera, so when we start to move it’s more of a surprise. And there’s extra drama when the train enters the darkness of the tunnel — and emerges into daylight again.

Having gained permission from the South Western Railway Company to shoot a series of these phantom rides, Cecil Hepworth constructed a camera for the purpose. He described it as a «long, narrow, black box, rather like a coffin standing on end» and it could hold 1,000 feet of film. It was tied to the engine’s safety rail, with a seat for Hepworth and the station master. In early British film The Kiss in the Tunnel (1899), a couple in a train carriage enjoy a quick clinch in the dark. How many lovers in the audience for this film would have taken the chance for a private moment?
