Blacksmith Scene is an American film dating from 1893 that is considered the first film to be produced for commercial screening.
Three men are working on a piece of iron while drinking beer: Not a particularly exciting film plot and, with a total duration of one minute, certainly not a full-length program. Blacksmith Scene made film history anyway. It was produced in 1893 and is considered to be the first film shot for commercial screenings. It could be viewed with the help of the kinetoscope , a development by Thomas Alva Edison and William KL Dickson .
In 1995 Blacksmith Scene was included in the National Film Registry , the directory of particularly important US film productions. It is the second oldest film recorded there.
