Auguste et Louis Lumière : Charcuterie mécanique (1986)
- 5 years ago
Lumiere Film Catalog no. 107
This is an "humorous subject" created by the Lumière Brothers. It purports to show a machine that automatically turns a live pig into various pork products; however, at least in surviving prints of the film, it looks like little more is going on than a butcher hawking his wares from a stand that just happens to have "La Charcuterie mécanique" painted on it.
