Lost film from 1890, directed by William in King’s Road, Chelsea (1890) The is no proof that this film was shot at the date claimed here. As with most films, there must be verification. William Friese-Greene was a fantasist. He told people in 1890 in Chester that he had “invented“ the moving image but if you read the actual reports he held up something to say this what he was holding was film. It was never shown to anyone there. And no third party was ever able to verify his claim. Replica’s of his cameras have made from his plans but they only run at 4 frames per second.
