Grandma Despina

Grandma Despina
Released: 2 Nov 1905 Duration: 0h 1min Genre: Documentary
This scene is a part of the very first film shot produced by the Manaki Brothers. Despina, the Janaki and Milton Manaki's grandmother, was recorded weaving in one high-angle shot. For no apparent reason, the first shot made in Macedonia, in the Balkans in fact, made by these two cinematography pioneers, contains peculiar symbolics: at the moment when the grandmother Despina spins the weaving wheel, film starts rolling in our country.

Does Grandma Despina have at least one scene during or after the credits?
