March 22, 1895 –
Auguste and Louis Lumiere first demonstrated motion pictures in Paris using celluloid film. Unless it was March 19, 1895, or December 28, 1894, or cellulite instead of celluloid. And it may have been in Milan, or Warsaw, and it’s possible it wasn’t Louis and Auguste Lumiere, but Max and Emil Skladanowsky.
The first motion picture shown on a screen is presented by Auguste and Louis Lumière during a private screening for the Société d’Encouragement à l’Industrie Nationale on this date in 1895.
An invited audience of 45 spectators at the Rue de Rennes in Paris, France, viewed the silent documentary film La Sortie des ouvriers de l’usine Lumière (Employees Leaving the Lumière Factory and Exiting the Factory), a film they shot especially for the occasion.
