The
Lumière brothers,
Auguste Marie Louis Nicolas (
19 October 1862,
Besançon,
France –
10 April 1954,
Lyon) and
Louis Jean (
5 October 1864,
Besançon,
France –
6 June 1948,
Bandol), were among the earliest
filmmakers. (Appropriately, "lumière" translates as "light" in English.)
Early cinema
The Lumières held their first private screening of projected motion pictures
March 22,
1895. Their first public screening of movies at which admission was charged was held on
December 28,
1895, at Paris's
Salon Indien du Grand Café. This history-making presentation featured ten short films, including their first film,
Sortie des Usines Lumière à Lyon (
Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory). Each film is 17 meters long, which, when hand cranked through a projector, runs approximately 46 seconds.
It is believed their first film was actually recorded that same year (1895) with
Léon Bouly's
cinématographe device, which was patented the previous year. The cinématographe— a three-in-one device that could record, develop, and project
motion pictures— was further developed by the Lumières.
Max and Emil Skladanowsky, inventors of the
Bioskope, had offered projected moving images to a paying public one month earlier (
November 1,
1895, in
Berlin). Neverless, film historians consider the Grand Café screening to be the true birth of the cinema as a commercial medium, because the Skladanowsky brothers' screening used an extremely impractical dual system motion picture projector that was immediately supplanted by the Lumiere cinematographe.
Death of Louis
Louis died on
6 June,
1948 in
Bandol in France.
