One of the greatest of black art pictures. The conjurer appears before the audience, with his head in its proper place. He then removes his head, and throwing it in the air, it appears on the table opposite another head, and both detached heads sing in unison. The conjurer then removes it a third time. You then see all three of his heads, which are exact duplicates, upon the table at one time, while the conjurer again stands before the audience with his head perfectly intact, singing in unison with the three heads upon the table. He closes the picture by bowing himself from the stage.

Georges Méliès makes a woman disappear, then reappear.

2016 film by Theodore Ushev

Director Chris Marker begins by recounting his childhood dream of visiting the city of Peking - a city he was once only able to admire in books. The viewer is taken on a journey through this city, as if experiencing it from the mind and through the eyes of Marker. His thoughts and observations about the traditions, history, and banalities of everyday life in Peking are woven together in elegant fashion.

影片由“冬”“早春”“春节”三个部分构成：内蒙古海拉尔的风雪中套马，大马车拉着皮、毛在风雪中奔驰，沙漠中驼队在运输，小羊羔在母羊身边吃奶，孩子们在打雪仗的，一家玻璃窗上一位小姑娘吹化的冰花；乍暖还寒的雾蒙蒙的太湖上，鸭子在嬉戏，飘浮着的船只，湖边春暖花开；春节前孩子们放风筝，耍龙舞、吹糖人、表演“双推磨”，大娘烧团圆饭等。影片构图追求一种中国画的效果。

An exploration —manipulated and staged— of life in Las Hurdes, in the province of Cáceres, in Extremadura, Spain, as it was in 1932. Insalubrity, misery and lack of opportunities provoke the emigration of young people and the solitude of those who remain in the desolation of one of the poorest and least developed Spanish regions at that time.

本次“金马53”年度广告邀请到赵德胤、陈哲艺、毕赣三位新导演分别拍摄，目前陈哲艺执导的部分已经出炉。短片中，张震回到当年拍摄《牯岭街杀人事件》的场景，并在黑板写下“小四，谢谢爱电影的你”

继陈哲艺、毕赣之后，「金马53年度广告」推出由本届「年度台湾杰出电影工作者」得主赵德胤执导的最终篇。赵德胤把最新的360度VR全景拍摄技术，用来重现侯孝贤1986年经典《恋恋风尘》的一场戏，柯震东与吴可熙跨越时代、回到主角纯朴的生活情态，穿著制服背著书包走在回家的路上。影片看似平实无奇，但观众可以可以用鼠标上下左右游动，选择与主角同行，或者远望他们背影，也可以鸟瞰、仰视，身历其境。然后打算下部拍科幻片的赵德胤在这裡加了个「不速之客」，眼尖的观众会发现竟有飞碟「乱入」。

The earliest surviving celluloid film, and believed to be the second moving picture ever created, was shot by Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince using the LPCCP Type-1 MkII single-lens camera. It was taken in the garden of Oakwood Grange, the Whitley family house in Roundhay, Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire (UK), possibly on 14 October 1888. The film shows Adolphe Le Prince (Le Prince's son), Mrs. Sarah Whitley (Le Prince's mother-in-law), Joseph Whitley, and Miss Harriet Hartley walking around in circles, laughing to themselves, and staying within the area framed by the camera. The Roundhay Garden Scene was recorded at 12 frames per second and runs for 2.11 seconds.
