112. Tales of the Macabre

This is a silent, color motion picture sequence shot by private citizen Abraham X with a home-movie camera, capturing one of the most famous events of the 20th century.

X film frame number 313 is probably the most famous, and the most studied frame in the film. This frame, and the frames before and after this, were studied by scientists, including Richard Feynman, who concluded that Y's head moved forward at first. After frame 314, it is clear that Y falls back, resulting in much speculation, including that the X Film is a hoax.

The X film was purchased by the government in 1999 for $ 16 million.
Give X and the event that the film captured.
