- Did you think the first movies were screened in a cinema? According to groundbreaking discoveries, our prehistoric ancestors may have invented the concept while drawing on their walls. Over the past 150 years, we have discovered many examples of amazing prehistoric art, most of which are fascinating representations of animals.
Today, a new reading of these paintings and engravings has revealed the existence of numerous cases of the breakdown of movement. A horse painting from the Lascaux caves in France, for example, is made up of many versions of the animal representing different positions of movement. Director and archeologist Marc Azema extracts these individual images and displays them in succession, demonstrating how they play back like a cartoon.
This documentary takes us right back to the beginnings of Homo sapiens’ artistic heritage to discover these graphic narratives, in a unique investigation into the cultural DNA of humanity.
Documentary: Stone Age Cinema (2015)
Directors: Pascal Cuissot & Marc Azéma
A co-production by ARTE France, MC4 & Passé Simple

The cave art should be viewed by flickering fire light which is what the Elders would have used. Not by present day light sources. The flickering fire light would have created motion on the cave walls.
exactly, the goat man would come to life in living light not only revealing the shape but also movements....
There would not have been fires usually but lamps, which are basically like candles with a wick. Sometimes torches were used. When you light some candles in your own house does your house come alive in new ways? Probably not. It was nothing special for those people either. And 'the elders' using fire is a hollow statement. 1. There is no such thing as 'Elders'. No evidence whatsoever. 2. Everybody used fire regardless because these folks lived in a glacial period and it was bloody well freezing. You would die of hypothermia without fire no matter how old you are.
As a child with a wild imagination, i suppose like many other country children, our family spent many wonderful Christmas holiday weekends in a very beautiful cave high in the Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa. How wonderful to find your spellbinding narrative and animation here. For I well remember the remarkable stories told late into the night by older brothers and my parents, sitting around a warm camp fire, and many of those stories were accompanied by our flickering shadows upon our cave wall, representing the hunting scenes depicted by Bushman (San) rock art... mingled now with time those moments of rapture for me as a small child are as real as anything in my mind.
So all I can say is that your wonderful ideas have been so enjoyed by a now much much much older child in this modern era...
Thank you, and good hunting! Kind regards Keith.
En tant qu'enfant doté d'une imagination débordante, je suppose que, comme beaucoup d'autres enfants de la campagne, notre famille a passé de nombreux merveilleux week-ends de vacances de Noël dans une très belle grotte située dans les montagnes du Drakensberg en Afrique du Sud. Comme c’est merveilleux de trouver ici votre récit et votre animation envoûtants. Car je me souviens très bien des histoires remarquables racontées tard dans la nuit par mes frères aînés et mes parents, assis autour d'un feu de camp chaleureux, et nombre de ces histoires étaient accompagnées de nos ombres vacillantes sur les murs de notre grotte, représentant les scènes de chasse représentées par les Bushman ( San) l'art rupestre... mêlés maintenant au temps, ces moments de ravissement pour moi en tant que petit enfant sont aussi réels que tout ce qui se passe dans mon esprit.
Tout ce que je peux dire, c'est que vos merveilleuses idées ont été tellement appréciées par un enfant désormais beaucoup plus âgé de cette ère moderne...
Merci et bonne chasse ! Cordialement Keith.
This is amazing! I'm so glad others have noticed the motion in the cave art, and even took it further by duplicating the little disc and spinning it to reveal the picture of the bison being shot. I hope there are more of those discs found. I thought about the ducks carved at the base of a T pillar at Gobekli Tepe. When I first saw those I said they would look like they were walking if there was a fire near them to cast shadows. Brilliant documentary!
Add some mushrooms, thought singing, harmonics, instruments and flickering fire light. The place would have been kicking off.
Yeah, psychedelics is something I would consider, too. Quite sure, our ancestors used them regulary.
What an extraordinary research and documentary! Congratulations!💐
Fascinating video!
Thank you!
As detailed as these cave paintings are. I wonder about details lost over time. Did they use a sharpened stick as a stilus dipped in pigment to make fine detailed lines? And those didn't last? I guess I'm pondering just how much detail these paintings had when they were new that didn't last over time. I wonder if new technology could pick up some of these lost details. And maybe remenants of older cave paintings that we can't see with our eyes.
The subject is naturally there.
They highlighted it.
fascinating documentary, and further, what intrigues me more is cave art and spirituality
Thanks so much!
I think perhaps not all the murals were exposed at the same time, some were covered and then exposed to living light when the narrative allowed it. Add also sound of drums and maybe animal imitation by ancient priests (?) and mushrooms and here we go....a entire movie open in front of your eyes.
All these paintings were painted by my grand-grand-….-parents 😊. It is determined that H1 mth-haplogroup, which is my, originates from the people living in-the caves of Cantabria such as Altamira. I am planning to visit the caves of my tribe this year.
Oh wow
Clearly refutes the theory of revolution
The image was already there in the rock.
They just highlighted it.

Cartoons? How about powerful ,majestic, spiritual masterpieces?
Maybe they just liked to draw stuff.. lol
Even people who just like to draw stuff nowadays have reasons for what subject matter they're drawing. But maybe youre right. It's just random and we shouldn't bother
