The Cinematograph: Birth of an Art

Original title: L’Œil, le pinceau et le cinématographe : naissance d'un art

This historical documentary traces how imaginative artists and inventive thinkers across the nineteenth century developed a new, distinctly cinematographic way of seeing. Their work helped prepare the arrival of cinema before the Lumière brothers’ invention and the first public film performance on December 28, 1895.
