Finding Birt Acres: The Rediscovery of a Film Pioneer

Birt Acres was the first commercial filmmaker in Britain and Germany but has been ill-served by film history. Of mysterious origins, this book tells his full story for the first time: tracing his American beginnings, his fame in the field of British photography, his embrace of the moving image and his later, overlooked years.
