Film Details
Auguste and Louis Lumière, pioneers of cinema, made the world’s earliest motion pictures, such as Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory and Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat. Seldom screened today are the hundreds of reels of film shot by the world-touring Lumière Company camera operators who used the cinématographe to document scenes of life in Mexico, Algeria, Egypt, Palestine, Japan, and Russia, among other far-flung sites.
