FIRST COMMERCIAL MOVIE SCREENING

The History of The Discovery of Cinematography - 1895 - 1900


On December 28, 1895, the world’s first commercial movie
screening
took place at the Grand Cafe in Paris. The film
was made by
Louis and Auguste Lumière, two French
brothers who developed a camera-projector called the
Cinematographe.

The Lumière brothers unveiled their invention to the public
in March 1895 with a brief film showing workers leaving the
Lumière factory.

On December 28, the entrepreneurial siblings screened a 
series of short scenes from everyday French life and they
charged admission for the first time.

THIS IS THE FIRST-EVER SELFIE TAKEN

A self-portrait.    

Robert Cornelius (March 1, 1809 – August 10, 1893)
was a photographer and pioneer in the
history of
photography
.

He designed the photographic plate for the first
photograph taken in the United States, an image
of
Central High School taken by Joseph Saxton in
1839.

His self image taken in 1839 is the first known
photographic portrait of a person taken in the
United States. He operated two of the earliest
photography studios in the United States
between 1841 and 1843 and implemented
innovative techniques to
significantly reduce
the
exposure time required for portraits.
