Cinematography[edit]
In history of cinema he is famous for the first scientific film in the world, Walking Troubles of Organic Hemiplegy (also translated as Walking Disturbances of the Physical Paresis [1]) [Tulburările mersului în hemiplegia organică] (1899), together with the cameraman Constantin M. Popescu. The film depicts several patients walking in four directions against a black background before and after the treatment. Marinescu came to the idea of making the film after having used the chronophotography under the influence of Étienne-Jules Marey. Marinescu praised the use of the cinematographic techniques in the scientifically investigation.
