    The Lumiere brothers are the legendary “fathers” of
    the French film industry, who opened the way for
    mankind to enter the world of cinema. They shot the
    first commercials and projected them onto the
    screen. The French Cinematheque stores about
    1,800 tapes shot by the famous brothers.
    Childhood and youth

    Louis and Auguste Lumiere were


    born in Besançon (France). Their
    father was a professional artist and
    was interested in photography. In
    1870 the family moved to Lyon,
    where Auguste and Louis
    graduated from a technical school.
    After moving from Besançon, their
    mother gave birth to another son
    and 3 daughters.
    Childhood and youth

    Charles-Antoine (father) opened a small


    factory for the production of photographic
    materials. In 1892, his father retired, and
    the entire factory remained at the
    disposal of the Lumiere brothers.
    Cinematograph

    The inventor of the technique called "cinematograph"


    was the younger brother, Louis, who was officially
    the owner of the family factory at that time. His project
    was partially funded by his elder brother Auguste, and
    after the creation of the camera, both brothers actively
    participated in the creation of the first films. Together
    with the Lumieres, the engineer Jules Carpentier
    worked on the new technology, who designed the first
    projection device to demonstrate their tapes.

    Jules Carpentier (1851 –1921)


    Cinematograph
    The patent application for the invention of the cinematograph was filed on February 13,
    1895, almost two years after the Edison kinetoscope was patented in the United States
    for individual viewing. Although the Lumieres were familiar with Edison's invention and
    probably used some of his ideas, the fact that their cinematography was intended for
    mass viewing allows them to be considered the creators of modern cinema.
    First screening of films

    The first public show was held in Paris on


    March 22, 1895, but the cinema's
    birthday is officially December 28 of the
    same year, when the first commercial
    screening of Lumière films took place at
    the Grand Café on Boulevard des
    Capucines.

    "The exit of workers from the factory"


    Shows of a new invention

    In the first half of 1896,


    demonstrations of the new
    technology took place in
    London, Rome, Cologne,
    Geneva, Madrid,
    St. Petersburg and New York, in
    September in Melbourne, and in
    January 1897 in Japan.
    Variety of cinematography

    Already the first 50-second films


    of the Lumières laid the foundatio
    n for the genre diversity of cinem
    a, including both documentary
    ("The exit of workers from the Lu
    miere factory", "Arrival of a train
    at La Ciotat station", as well as th
    e first newsreel "Arrival of delegat
    es to a photo congress in Lyon"), s
    o and feature films (among the sa
    mples of which the comedy "The
    Watered Waterer" was especially
    popular with the public).
    Leaving the cinema
    The brothers were actively involved in
    filming films until 1898. After that, Louis
    Lumiè re abandoned his further film career,
    focusing on improving the technology of
    color photography.
    Later, the Lumières continued to produce
    35 mm celluloid film, which was also used
    in newer cinema cameras, but the
    production of cameras was discontinued.
    In total, session revenues and camera sales
    accounted for only 15% of the company's
    revenues even during the boom years,
    between 1896 and 1900.
    Movie poster

    Also, the world's first movie poster is associated with the Lumiere
    brothers. This was the poster that announced the first film screening on
    December 28, 1895.

    The 2nd famous movie


    poster is a poster
    advertising the 1895
