Himself (archive footage)
Em março de 1895, os irmãos Louis e Auguste Lumière eternizaram-se na história ao capturarem as primeiras imagens em movimento no aparelho que haviam inventado: o cinematógrafo. Neste documentário são contempladas algumas de suas obras, os primeiros passos dados para o nascimento da sétima arte.
Himself
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.
Self (archive footage)
This film is a kind of anthology about Vienna, from the invention of film to the present day. The aim is to break down the usual clichéd "image of Vienna" such as that found in the traditional "Vienna Film" by juxtaposing documentary footage, newly shot material and subjective sequences created by various artists. Individual, self-contained sections of the film gain new meaning within the context of historical material. Familiar sites appear estranged when edited together with historical scenes. Other scenes appear like a persiflage or satirical. The film does not incorporate any commentary whatsoever. It is a collage of diverse materials aimed at conveying a distanced image of Vienna to the viewer
Producer
This is the last film produced by the Lumiere Brothers, a variation on the Butterfly Dance recorded by several companies, released in hand-colored or stenciled versions, some as early as 1894 and Lubin's Argentine version coming out a couple of years earlier.

A very heavy turret is transported on a truck drawn by a long line of horses. The inscription “Charlemagne 53790K” readable on the turret suggests that this view was shot in the vicinity of Saint-Chamond, a town where there are factories specializing in the construction of heavy steel. It is certainly a turret intended for the battleship “Charlemagne”. In addition, a view projected by the Aléthorama on January 20, 1898 in Saint-Étienne, and entitled “Transportation of the armored turret of Saint-Chamond by a team of 80 horses”, could represent the same event.
