"President McKinley Inauguration" (1901) is a very short documentary. The film is included in our program to illustrate the work of our star Billy Bitzer.
In addition to being the cinematographer, IMDB gives Billy Bitzer credit as a director and if this is confirmed the film would be one of very few films, for which he receives this distinction.
"President McKinley Inauguration" (1901) was added to the National Film Registry in 2000 as being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Let's all give our thanks to the Library of Congress for preserving this film and making it available to the public.
