## Biography

Alfred C. Abadie, also known as Alfred Camille Abadie, was an American photographer and pioneer filmmaker who worked for Thomas Edison's company. He specialised in actuality films, short non-fiction recordings of real events and daily life.

A New York City native, Abadie began as a camera assistant at Edison Studios around 1898. He directed and photographed numerous shorts, including *Emigrants Landing at Ellis Island* (1903) and *Move On* (1903), and appeared as an uncredited actor in *The Great Train Robbery* (1903). After leaving Edison, he worked freelance on educational and industrial films, such as *Birth* (1917). His *Emigrants Landing at Ellis Island* was added to the National Film Registry in 2019.
