Премьера состоялась в США 9 мая 1893 года. 17 октября 1894 года прокат фильма прошёл в Великобритании. В фильме показана работа в кузнице, кузнец и два подмастерья обрабатывают заготовку. Мастер стучит молотком, указывая, где нужно будет обработать материал и продвигает его дальше, подмастерья обрабатывают указанные места молотами. После нескольких повторений процесса, мастер кладёт заготовку в угли, в это время один подмастерье берёт бутылку, стоящую у него за спиной, передаёт её другому, тот пьёт из неё и передаёт её мастеру, он тоже пьёт и передаёт её первому, который, отпив из бутылки, ставит её на место. Мастер возвращает разогретый материал на наковальню и они продолжают проковку. Съёмки проводились с апреля по май 1893 года в павильоне «Чёрная Мария», только что построенной рядом с лабораториями изобретателя, расположенными в городе Вест-Орандж, штат Нью-Джерси. Фильм снят «Кинетографом», и считается первой кинокартиной, публично продемонстрированной при помощи «Кинетоскопа». В 1995 году фильм попал в Национальный реестр фильмов. Blacksmith Scene (also known as Blacksmith Scene #1 and Blacksmithing Scene) is an 1893 American short black-and-white silent film directed by William K.L. Dickson, the Scottish-French inventor who, while under the employ of Thomas Edison, developed one of the first fully functional motion picture cameras. It is historically significant as the first Kinetoscope film shown in public exhibition on May 9, 1893, and is the earliest known example of actors performing a role in a film. 102 years later, in 1995, Blacksmithing Scene was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant“. It is the second-oldest film included in the Registry, after Newark Athlete (1891). The scene is all filmed from a stationary camera. On screen is a large anvil with a blacksmith behind it and a striker to either side (portrayed by Edison employees). The smith uses a heated metal rod he has removed from a fire and places it on the anvil. All three begin a rhythmic hammering. After several blows, the metal rod is returned to the fire. One striker pulls out a bottle of beer, and they each take a drink. Following this drink, they then resume their work. The film was produced by the Edison Manufacturing Company, which had begun making films in 1890 under the direction of one of the earliest pioneers to film William K.L. Dickson. It was filmed entirely within the Black Maria studio at West Orange, New Jersey, in the United States, which is widely referred to as “America's First Movie Studio“. It is believed to have been filmed in April 1893 and was shown publicly (in a Kinetoscope viewer) at the Brooklyn Institute on May 9, 1893. According to the Internet Movie Database the film was made in a 35 mm format with an aspect ratio of . The movie was intended to be displayed through means of a Kinetoscope. Dickson selected a lens that worked best for medium and medium close-up shots and stationed his camera approximately ten to twelve feet from the anvil. The film is one of the oldest extant attempts to film a staged scene rather than simply record an action. The men featured are not actually blacksmiths, nor are they in a blacksmith shop working on metal—they are actors on a set pretending to be blacksmiths. Prior to 1893, photography (and by extension film) was prized for its ability to capture the “truth,“ and even some of Dickson's crew were uncomfortable with presenting a staged scene as truth. A surviving 35-mm print of this film was found at the Henry Ford Museum; it is the source of the negative preserved by the Museum of Modern Art film archive. Another copy is at the Edison National Historic Site, administered by the National Park Service. Because the film was finished before 1925, its copyright has expired; it is freely available on the World Wide Web.
