Monkeyshines (1889 or 1890), an experimental film made to test the original cylinder format of the Kinetoscope, is believed to be the first film shot in the United States.

Monkeyshines, No. 1 was shot by William K.L. Dickson and William Heise for the Edison labs. Scholars have differing opinions on whether the first was shot in June 1889 starring John Ott or sometime between November 21–27, 1890 starring G. Sacco Albanese. Both men were fellow lab workers at the company; contradictory evidence exists for each claim. Monkeyshines, No. 2 and Monkeyshines, No. 3 quickly followed to test further conditions.

These films were intended to be internal tests of the new camera system, and were not created for commercial use; their rise to prominence resulted much later due to work by film historians. All three films show a blurry figure in white standing in one place making large gestures and are only a few seconds long.

Le Salut de Dickson est la première apparition publique de photographies en mouvement sur un support en nitrate de cellulose (celluloïd), support souple et fin inventé en 1887 par John Carbutt et commercialisée dès 1888 par l'industriel George Eastman sous la forme d'un ruban de 70 mm de large et dont la longueur est en principe sans limite, mettant fin au cycle court du jouet optique.
