Lumiere's first picture shows
Description
"Workers leaving the Lumière Factory", "The Gardener", "Arrival of a train at La Ciot Station" and many more are on display in Lumière's First Picture Shows; a collection of firsts from the filmmakers that started a business of film production, exhibition, and distribution. The acknowledged birth of film history was December 28, 1895, when the first paying audience gathered at the Grand Cafè on Boulevard des Capucines, Paris, for a performance of films on the Cinèmatographe of brothers Louis and Auguste Lumière. This program is mostly reproduced from a collection of original Lumiere films unearthed in 1972 from a basement storage area in the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History. They were copied using an original Cinèmatographe as a printer. The program includes twenty films from 1895-97 taken in France, four special films that were hand-colored one frame at a time, and thirteen films taken in Washington, Chicago, and New York City during 1896-97 in the United States.
