The Profile

French filmmaker and pioneer of early cinema; director of short films including 'Par le trou de serrue'.

Worked for the Pathé company (Pathé Frères) and was active in early French cinema.

The review examines Zecca's 1901 short 'Par le trou de la serrure' as an early example of keyhole/point-of-view filming. It highlights voyeuristic tones and parody, and situates the film within early cinema's technological experiments. The reviewer rates the film low while noting its historical interest.
