A Trick of the Light

00:00:16 "A TRICK OF THE LIGHT"

00:03:27 I played with my uncles, so dad could work undisturbed.

00:06:22 that we needed a lot of light for our photographic pictures.

00:09:44 I wanted to see my Uncle Eugen.

00:13:00 Suddenly everything on the wall was like it really was on the roof.

00:16:16 and I still live in the same house.

00:17:51 Something you put in your soup to spice it up.

00:19:26 It burned, lightning would strike.

00:20:43 That's what it said on the patent.

00:22:12 so June and July were the perfect time.

00:23:23 with their so-called "Cinematograph"...

00:26:10 But before we could present...

00:29:20 All of Berlin had to know about the world premiere of our bioscope.

00:32:33 I'm tearing it all apart, right?

00:36:16 And then came the act right before ours:

00:38:11 said they wanted their money back...

00:44:04 All this exaltation brought a tear to my eye behind the screen.

00:45:59 This is just the beginning of cinema!

00:47:16 You can say that I have colored, well, thousands of images.

00:48:52 This is also over 80 years old and survived two wars.

00:50:10 There should be three colors.

00:51:42 when my brother was drafted, that took a big toll on him.

00:53:54 This one here, I remember him.

01:05:28 -This is supposed to be dad? -On the bioscope.
