On September 16, 1890 the disappearance of one man may have changed the course of film history! Although we are taught that Edison created the first motion picture camera, it was actually Louis Le Prince. He created two cameras (1885 & 1887). En route from France to New York, in order to show off his new invention and receive a patent for the camera, Le Prince seemed to have vanished; his whereabouts are still unknown today. Come with us as we travel back to the 1880s and discuss the evolution of cameras, Le Prince's disappearance and some conspiracy theories as to what happened to him.
