Edwin S. Porter’s work functions as a topographical and architectural record rather than a narrative film. Since it lacks a scripted plot or character arcs, traditional vectors of identity and ability to act are largely inapplicable to the footage. The film acts as a visual survey of the 1901 Pan-American Exposition, capturing significant historical landmarks. However, it does not engage with social hierarchies or progressive identity politics. Ultimately, the work is a technical achievement and a historical archive, documenting the physical landscape of the era through a traditional lens of Western industrial progress.
