How long is the first short film in the world?

Film is a modern decorative art deeply loved by the public. The invention of film originated from the phenomenon of visual persistence discovered by Roger, an Englishman at the beginning of the19th century, that is, the visual imaging in people's eyes will last for a period of time, up to one thousandth of a second. After the advent of photography, people found that as long as a series of photos were displayed quickly and continuously, the illusion that the characters in the picture were moving could be created.

1888, American inventor Marley made the world's first fixed negative continuous camera, which is the originator of modern cameras. In the same year, Le Prince, an Englishman, produced and broadcast the world's first short film Wonderland in the Garden, which lasted only 2 seconds.
