Route 66 - Durch Amerikas weiten Westen(2012)
The western section of Route 66 runs through the US states of New Mexico, Arizona and California. It crosses barren landscapes, deserts and Indian reservations. And only at the end of America's "Mother Road" does the sunny state of California beckon with the promise of the American Dream. Many of the natural wonders on the edge of Route 66 are located on Native American reservations. The Laguna tribe also owns the Route 66 casino. A legal privilege that allowed Native Americans to operate casinos created a kind of prosperity for them for the first time. The gamblers' money creates jobs, schools and hospitals. The Hualapai Indians also benefit from the rediscovery of Route 66, as it passes through the fascinating Grand Canyon. Indian guides now offer rafting tours on the white water of the Colorado River, which forces its way through the rock faces in gorges over 1,000 meters deep.

The Kiss in the Tunnel(en)
Produced and directed by George Albert Smith, the film shows a couple sharing a brief kiss as their train passes through a tunnel. The Kiss in the Tunnel is said to mark the beginnings of narrative editing. It is in fact, two films in one, hence the 2 min length. Firstly, the G.A. Smith film here for the central cheeky scene in the carriage. The train view footage however is Cecil Hepworth's work, entitled 'View From An Engine Front - Shilla Mill Tunnel', edited into two halves in order to provide a visual narrative of the train entering the tunnel before the kiss and then leaving afterwards. More information about the filming of the phantom train ride can be found searching for the Hepworth film separately.
