El argumento de esta obra lo desvela el propio título: el film consiste en un sólo plano de los trabajadores de la fábrica Lumière saliendo de la misma tras concluir su jornada laboral. Su importancia en la historia del cine es capital, puesto que se trata de la primera película que fue proyectada comercialmente para un público. (FILMAFFINITY)

Rodado en 1895 por Louis Lumière, "El Regador Regado" está considerada como la primera película de ficción de la historia del cine. La historia es tan simple como la broma que un chico le gasta a un jardinero pisando la goma cuando éste riega un jardín. En el momento en el que el segundo inspecciona la manguera para ver qué ocurre, el muchacho levanta el pie y el hombre acaba empapado, empezando la persecución para darle su escarmiento al niño. Simple, directo y efectivo. Uno de los primeros gags de la historia del celuloide, que arrancó la carcajada del entonces inocente y sorprendido público. (FILMAFFINITY)

Produced and directed by George Albert Smith, the film shows a couple sharing a brief kiss as their train passes through a tunnel. The Kiss in the Tunnel is said to mark the beginnings of narrative editing. It is in fact, two films in one, hence the 2 min length. Firstly, the G.A. Smith film here for the central cheeky scene in the carriage. The train view footage however is Cecil Hepworth's work, entitled 'View From An Engine Front - Shilla Mill Tunnel', edited into two halves in order to provide a visual narrative of the train entering the tunnel before the kiss and then leaving afterwards. More information about the filming of the phantom train ride can be found searching for the Hepworth film separately.

Director Christina Voros and producer James Franco pull back the curtain on the fetish empire of Kink.com, the Internet's largest producer of BDSM content. In a particularly obscure corner of an industry that operates largely out of public view, Kink.com's directors and models strive for authenticity. In an enterprise often known for exploitative practices, Kink.com upholds an ironclad set of values to foster an environment that is safe, sane, and consensual.

After the title, a white screen gives way to a series of frames suggestive of abstract art, usually with one or two colors dominating and rapid change in the images. Two figures emerge from this jungle of color: the first, a shirtless man, appears twice, coming into focus, then disappearing behind the bursts and patterns of color, then reappearing; the second figure appears later, in the right foreground. This figure suggests someone older, someone of substance. The myth? Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2012.
