巴塞罗那-公园黄昏 (1904) [Movie] Douban
Barcelone - Parc au crépuscule
director: Segundo de Chomón
other title: Barcelone - Parc au crépuscule
Segundo de Chomon documents a park in Barcelona, filming its extensive area, filled with trees and some constructions around. The innovation here is that instead of obtaining immobile images as usual in many films of the period, the director makes the camera move through the location, apparently shot while he was on a boat. Written by Rodrigo Amaro

The Troubadour (1906) [Movie] WikiData IMDb TMDB Douban
Le troubadour
director: Segundo de Chomón actor: Gabrielle Robinne
other title: 吟游诗人 / Le troubadour …
On an elaborately decorated stage, the titular troubadour of the title bows. He then proceeds to pull several cards out of mid air and arrange them on the floor. Then, taking a banjo he multiplies himself into seven different troubadours, each playing a different musical instrument. A moment later, they all vanish and we are left with the troubadour who we were first introduced to at the beginning of the film. He explodes in a puff of smoke, and an enormous fan appears and unfolds. On it appears a vision of a castle tower with a maiden in it, and the troubadour outside the tower window, talking to her. The vision dissolves, and the troubadour bows, thus ending his performance.
