Abstract
The translation of an essay by Gabriel Aubray published in France in early 1897. The essay is a philosophical reflection on how the recently invented cinematograph can record human actions and preserve them for all time. In this way, Aubray suggests, the new device symbolises the omniscience of a greater being or God. With an introduction by Stephen Bottomore.
