Blacksmith Scene, also known as Blacksmithing Scene, is an 1893 short silent film directed by William K.L. Dickson and featuring Charles Kayser and John Ott as blacksmiths. It was selected in 1995 for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

Plot
Three blacksmiths are seen hammering their craft on an anvil for 34 seconds.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It's one of the first films made with Kinetoscope, and the first to be publicly exhibited.
 * 2) This is an early example of how film can record a staged scene, and capture the truth.
 * 3) Like Fred Ott's Sneeze, it's in the public domain and available for free on the Internet.

Trivia

 * Blacksmithing Scene is the second oldest film to be preserved in the registry, the oldest being Newark Athlete (1891).
