Could/will IMDb add the year 1874 for titles? As of now, it says the earliest allowed year is 1888, although there is one 1880 title and one 1887 title on IMDb. Maybe I shouldn't have done this, but when I added the new title "Passage de Venus", which has been credited by historians as the first ever instance of cinematography, I added it as an 1888 title since that was the earliest year IMDb allowed on the form. Then, I sent corrections to change the year to 1874. It's been a few weeks since then, and I haven't heard anything back. Thanks.

I've forwarded this request to our editors in charge of titles. This is an unusual change so the year in the title would have to be modified manually. If you have a specific source/URL that supports the 1874 year, please post it here so I can forward that as well.

thanks

If you still have a copy of the book, "Cinema Before Cinema: The Origins of Scientific Cinematography", could you provide a page number and possibly a short quotation that illustrates your point.

FYI: The book is available from Amazon.com.

This book sounds interesting and one that I will add to my reading list.
