also known as Démolition d'un mur
Demolition of a Wall1896

THE DEMOLITION OF A WALL evokes the initial fascination with the motion picture camera's capacity to capture an irrevocable event and play it back ad infinitum, preserving time and turning it inside-out. - Max Goldberg

This, for me, really encapsulates and illustrates, for the modern audience member, the idea of the cinema of novelty right after the camera was invented.
