Panorama of Ealing from a Moving Tram
Panorama of Ealing from a Moving Tram (1901) is an example of a 'phantom ride', a film that was usually made with the intention of screening it at fairgrounds and advertised on the basis of the film's local interest. If members of the audience were unlucky enough not to spot themselves or someone they knew, they were at least guaranteed to recognise something, even if it was only a glimpse of their high street.
UK 1901 Dir William Kennedy-Laurie Dickson
