In which period did the earliest movies appear?

The world’s first movie was born on December 28, 1895.

On December 28, 1895, French photographer Louis Lumière held the first screening of a kinetoscope at the Grand Café on rue Capucine in Paris, which was a huge success. Considered to mark the birth of cinema.

As an outstanding photographer, Lumière was good at fast photography and invented a machine that was both a camera, a projector and a developing machine. The first film he made was a promotional film "The Factory Gate", which showed the scene during work at the Lumière factory in Lyon, France at that time.

The film is only a little over a minute long, but it is the world's first film and therefore occupies an important position in film history. It is one of the must-see films for graduate students of film arts in universities around the world.

Content of the movie:

The door of Lumière Factory slowly opened, revealing a group of people wearing hats with ribbons and knotted feathers, tight tops, floor-length skirts, and aprons around their waists. The female workers walked out first, followed by a group of male workers pushing bicycles. In the opposite direction to the more than a hundred busy workers filing out, the factory owners entered the factory in a carriage pulled by two horses.

The young ladies walked briskly while dodging vehicles, displaying the cheerful mood of their leisure time. A big jumping dog ran out of the gate. After that, the factory guard came out and quickly closed the factory door.

Lumière used the vast scene of workers getting off work to show the grand scale of his factory and convey his inner joy and pride. From the time this film was broadcast to the end of 1896, there were more than a hundred types of patented movie machines, and movies have developed rapidly since then.
