A short Super 8 film documenting the film and media collection held at Brighton and Hove Museums. The film offers a visual record of early film and optical media devices within the collection, including a 35mm film printer, early stereoscopes, and magic lanterns. It moves through the museum’s apparatus, observing their forms, mechanics, and material presence as early objects of image-making.
