This is the first ever moving picture image of a kiss. It was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. There is a longer Edison film of a kiss, filmed in 1900, that has at times been confused with this one. According to Edison film historian C. Musser, the actors staged their kiss for the camera at the request of the New York world newspaper, and the resulting film was the most popular Edison Vitascope film in 1896. Filmed April 1896, in Edison's Black Maria studio. WINNER Best Underground Film - Indie Fest USA 2008. Nominated for Best Visual Effects, Best Make-Up, and Best Feature Film - Indie Fest USA 2008 http://www.indiefestusa.com
