Walking Troubles of Organic Hemiplegy
Walking Troubles of Organic Hemiplegy (1898) is the first[1] documentary film in the world, created by Romanian neurologist Gheorghe Marinescu. The film depicts several patients walking in four directions against a black background before and after the treatment.
Marinescu came to the idea of making the film after having used the chronophotography under the influence of Étienne-Jules Marey. Marinescu praised the use of the cinematographic techniques in the scientifical investigation.
