Mrs. Auguste Lumière

An appreciation of Film in the form of a collage.

A collection of short films made by the Lumiere brothers, a team of pioneering filmmakers in turn-of-the-century France, narrated by Bertrand Tavernier.

"L'Arrivée d'un train à La Ciotat" es sin duda uno de los filmes más famosos de la historia. La imagen de un tren llegando a una estación, pasando muy cerca de la cámara mientras reduce la velocidad, se convirtió rápidamente en una escena absolutamente icónica de esa curiosidad de reciente invención llamada "cinematógrafo".

Probably filmed in 1895, a group of people stand along the platform of a railway station in La Ciotat, waiting for a train. The train pulls up and attendants help passengers off and on. This was not in the Lumière's official catalog, and was likely screened in early 1896.
