Eskimo (1930 Film)
''Eskimo'' is a Norwegian–Danish adventure and drama film from 1930 directed by George Schnéevoigt. It starred Mona Mårtenson, Paul Richter, and Henki Kolstad, for whom it was his film debut at age 14. Had it not been for the fact that Denmark was also involved in the production, ''Eskimo'' would have been considered the first feature-length Norwegian sound film (rather than ''Den store barnedåpen'' from 1931). The language in the film is Norwegian. Plot Jack Norton is a gambler, and his father often lends him money to pay off his gambling debts. Finally, his father's patience runs out. He refuses to lend him more money, and he no longer wants to acknowledge Jack as his son. In desperation, Jack takes a motorboat and sails to sea. His boat sinks, but he is picked up by a fishing vessel on its way to the Arctic Ocean. The captain is a brutal man, and both he and the crew treat Jack badly. The only exception is the cabin boy Jimmy, who eventually becomes close friends with Jack ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sound Film
A sound film is a motion picture with synchronized sound, or sound technologically coupled to image, as opposed to a silent film. The first known public exhibition of projected sound films took place in Paris in 1900, but decades passed before sound motion pictures became commercially practical. Reliable synchronization was difficult to achieve with the early sound-on-disc systems, and amplification and recording quality were also inadequate. Innovations in sound-on-film led to the first commercial screening of short motion pictures using the technology, which took place in 1923. The primary steps in the commercialization of sound cinema were taken in the mid-to-late 1920s. At first, the sound films which included synchronized dialogue, known as "talking pictures", or "talkies", were exclusively shorts. The earliest feature-length movies with recorded sound included only music and effects. The first feature film originally presented as a talkie (although it had only limited so ...
