news reels
Filmed current events
Newsreels were short documentary films shown in movie theaters before the main feature, covering current events, sports, and human interest stories.
They served as a primary source of visual news from the early 1900s until television news made them obsolete in the 1960s.
The newsreel footage of the Hindenburg disaster remains iconic.
