An abridged history of motion pictures:  In 1888 George Eastman registered the made up word “Kodak” as a trademark.  In 1894 Jean Aimé “Acme” Le Roy presented the first film screening in New York City.  In 1895 Auguste and Louis Lumière filmed workers leaving their factory in Lyon.  In 1903 Thomas Alva Edison orchestrated and captured on film the electrocution of an elephant in Coney Island.  In 2011 Anja Dornieden and Juan David González Monroy filmed dwarfs dancing on a stage at an amusement park in China.  In 2012 Eastman Kodak filed for bankruptcy.

In the summer of 2009, a new theme park was inaugurated in China. It was called „The Kingdom of the Dwarves“. From all over China recruits were brought in to live in the park and entertain its visitors. There were only two stipulated requirements for employment: the performers had to be between 18 and 40 years old and be shorter than 130 cm. Twice a day they take the stage singing and dancing for the paying crowd. “A flea’s skin would be too big for you” was an epigram used by the Romans to address a dwarf, at the period of the decadence.
