Black Maria may refer to:
Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor and businessman. He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park", he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large-scale teamwork to the process of invention, and because of that, he is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.
Edison was a prolific inventor, holding 1,093 US patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. More significant than the number of Edison's patents was the widespread impact of his inventions: electric light and power utilities, sound recording, and motion pictures all established major new industries world-wide. Edison's inventions contributed to mass communication and, in particular, telecommunications. These included a stock ticker, a mechanical vote recorder, a battery for an electric car, electrical power, recorded music and motion pictures.

In 1894, Thomas Edison filmed sharpshooter Annie Oakley in his Black Maria studio. He was testing a new device called the kinetograph, an electrically powered camera capable of capturing motion. “Edison” premieres January 27, 2015 on PBS American Experience.
One of the earliest motion pictures filmed in 1894 at Thomas Edison's West Orange film studio known as the Black Maria was this short clip of the Spanish dancer Carmencita.
The Black Maria (/məˈraɪ.ə/ mə-ry-ə) was Thomas Edison's movie production studio in West Orange, New Jersey. It is widely referred to as America's First Movie Studio. In 1893, the world's first film production studio,[1][2] the Black Maria, or the Kinetographic Theater, was completed on the grounds of Edison's laboratories at West Orange, New Jersey, for the purpose of making film strips for the Kinetoscope. Construction began in December 1892[3] and was completed the following year at a cost of $637.67 (approx. $15,272.99 in 2010 dollars). In early May 1893 at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, Edison conducted the world's first public demonstration of films shot using the Kinetograph in the Black Maria, with a Kinetoscope viewer. The exhibited film showed three people pretendi...

This is the most recent (2013) opening for The Black Maria Film Festival. Hopefully, the connection between the modern Black Maria Festival, and Thomas Edison's use of "Black Maria," is more obvious than previous openings for two main reasons, one: Thomas Edison, in his own words, explains the use of the term "Black Maria," and two: we actually see some (very) short films made in the Black Maria film studio during the earliest days of film, the 1890's. Then it's on with the modern cutting edge, traveling film festival, which changes from venue to venue. This is the 32nd showing of the Black Maria Film Festival. It is primarily geared to short films, although longer films have also appeared. Do a "Search" on YouTube and you are bound to find some films that have appeared in past festival...

So take a minute and ask yourself why
every second you're after just seems to pass.
Take a minute and ask why you ran away from it.
And every moment, thereafter, is a relapse.
From the memory before to the one that just passed.
Take a minute and ask yourself why.
It's easier to appease me when you are down on your knees,
and you're begging for me.
To take it easy on you, it's easier to
leave you when you're down...
These are just wasted intentions.
They're mixed up and they're all pretentious.
Yesterday seemed so long ago,
and the best of me is almost too hard to find...
These are just wasted intentions.
They're mixed up and they're all pretentious.
Why do you face this alone?
So now you've watched the playback in your mind.
Would you agree that you let it all slip past?
I just had to ask why it got away from you.
Does every regret burn from the inside?
From the memory before to the one that just passed,
watch it again and ask yourself why?
It's easier to appease me when you are down on your knees and alone.
These are just wasted intentions.
They're mixed up and they're all pretentious.
Yesterday seemed so long ago,
and the best of me is almost too hard to find...
These are just wasted intentions.
They're mixed up and they're all pretentious.
Why do you face this alone?
These are just wasted intentions.
They're mixed up and they're all pretentious.
Yesterday seemed so long ago,
and the best of me is almost too hard to find...
These are just wasted intentions.
They're mixed up and they're all pretentious.
