The Moviola was the first machine for motion picture editing when it was invented by Iwan Serrurier in 1924. It allowed editors to study individual shots in their cutting rooms, thus to determine more precisely where the best cut-point might be. The vertically-oriented Moviolas were the standard for film editing in the United States until the 1970s when horizontal flatbed editor systems became more common.
Nevertheless, a few very high-profile filmmakers continue to prefer the Moviola. Not least on this list is editor Michael Kahn famous for his work with Steven Spielberg. In fact, given the motion picture industry's accelerating trend toward digitization, Mr. Kahn may have given this classic piece of equipment its last hurrah in 2005 when Spielberg's Munich received an Academy Award nomination for Best Film Editing.
