La Mosca Acróbata (1910)
[o cómo torturar pequeñas criaturas]

This truly delightful (or singularly repellent) film is the work of Percy Smith, pioneer of a particularly engaging early form of natural filmmaking. ‘The Acrobatic Fly’ is one of a series of Smith films on similar subjects around this time, and near identical to, though briefer than, a sequence in his 1911 release ‘The Strength and Agility of Insects’, which also features similarly impressive accomplishments by a scorpion, a flea, a grasshopper and a praying mantis. Viewers might worry about the techniques used to secure such performances, but Smith always insisted that his stars were none the worse for their moment in the spotlight.
