When was the first movie in the world and who directed it?

1895 65438+On February 28th, French photographer Louis Lumiere held his first screening with a movable film machine in the big cafe on Cabernet Road, which was a great success, which was considered as the symbol of the birth of the film.

Lumiere, as an outstanding photographer, is good at fast photography, and invented a machine that is both a camera, a projector and a processor. His first film was the propaganda film "The Gate of the Factory", which showed the scene when the Lumiere factory in Lyon was closed. This movie is only over a minute long, but it is the first movie in the world, so it occupies an important position in the history of movies. It is one of the must-see films for graduate students of film art in universities all over the world.

The content of the film is: The gate of Lumiere factory slowly opens, and a group of female workers wearing ribbons, knotted feather hats, tight tops and long skirts with aprons come out first, followed by a group of male workers pushing bicycles. Contrary to 100 workers filed out and worked hard, factory owners entered the factory in carriages pulled by two fine horses. Young ladies avoid vehicles and walk at a brisk pace, showing the happiness of their leisure time. A jumping dog ran out of the gate. After that, the factory doorman came out and quickly closed the factory gate. Lumiere used the huge scene of off-duty workers to show the grand scale of his factory and convey his inner joy and pride. From the broadcast of the film to the end of 1896, there were more than 100 kinds of film machines with patent rights, and the film has developed rapidly since then.
