Alexandre Alexeïeff and Claire Parker invented the pinscreen in the 1930s, and this Cinédoc DVD collects their films with documentaries about it, among them The Pinscreen by the animator Norman McLaren. Each pinscreen frame is shaded by hand with the shadows of thousands of pins and filmed, with no computer involved. The DVD also includes several commercials with special effects made by harmonographs, and a special feature on the use of harmonographs.
