IMAGE MAKERS: THE ADVENTURES OF AMERICA’S PIONEER CINEMATOGRAPHERS
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
This month, TCM is celebrating the 100thanniversary of the American Society of Cinematographers with a slew of special programming – and the tip of the spear of that slew is this new documentary, which looks at America’s history of early filmmakers behind the camera. Competing with groundbreaking counterparts from France, these early camera artistes broke away from the Edison company, made their own increasingly fluid narrative films, and helped build and revamp the cinema industry – including the transition from silent to sound films.
