Summary/Abstract: Film in its earliest decade was short, so to speak, under constraint. Or for technical reasons. Which of the lessons of that catchpenny period (1895–1908) could be drawn on by contemporary short film? The paper shows this in the light of the fundamental questions: ‘Who?’, ‘What?’, ‘Where?’, ‘When?’, ‘Why?’ and ‘How?’ People of various walks of life and interests have dealt with cinema. The greatest advantage of the short film programme lies in its wealth and diversity. Movies were screened at fairs, but also at clubs and coffee shops. They were already attractive and independent; short film was cheap and accessible. Success stemmed form spontaneity, simplicity, realism, and freshness of vision.
