On 22 March 1895 in Paris, at the “Society for the Development of the National Industry”, in front of a small audience of approx. 200 members, the Lumières privately screened a single film, La Sortie de l’usine Lumière à Lyon.
It was the first presentation of projected film.
Their first commercial public screening on 28 December 1895 for around 40 paying visitors has traditionally been regarded as the birth of cinema.
This is outrageous! But it’s just a fad anyway. Who would want to look at MOVING pictures?
