About this Collection
This presentation features 68 motion pictures, produced
between 1898 and 1901, of the Spanish-American War and the subsequent
Philippine Revolution. The Spanish-American War was the first U.S. war
in which the motion picture camera played a role. These films were
made by the Edison Manufacturing Company and the American Mutoscope
& Biograph Company and consist of actualities filmed in the U.S.,
Cuba, and the Philippines, showing troops, ships, notable figures, and
parades, as well as reenactments of battles and other war-time events.
The Special Presentation presents the motion pictures in chronological
order together with brief essays that provide a historical context for
their filming.
