Overview

In 1988, Keener's grandfather Charles took his video camcorder to Collinsville Trade Day to document the popular outdoor market for posterity. Twenty-six years later, Keener found the tape buried in a box in his living room closet. He took the liberty to edit this footage and the resulting film is a very personal collaboration with his grandfather about a small town’s culture.

The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat

The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat

A group of people are standing along the platform of a railway station in La Ciotat, waiting for a train. One is seen coming, at some distance, and eventually stops at the platform. Doors of the railway-cars open and attendants help passengers off and on. Popular legend has it that, when this film was shown, the first-night audience fled the café in terror, fearing being run over by the "approaching" train. This legend has since been identified as promotional embellishment, though there is evidence to suggest that people were astounded at the capabilities of the Lumières' cinématographe.
