Les Films des Lumière (Part 1): 1890s Life in Motion

Relive "Les Films des Lumière (Part 1)," a black-and-white silent anthology of 32 pioneering shorts by the Lumière Brothers, filmed between 1895-1897. This treasure trove captures life’s fleeting moments: the iconic "Arrivée d’un train à la Ciotat" (#653) stuns with a train’s rush, "Danse serpentine" (#765) dazzles with swirling skirts, and "Démolition d’un mur" (#40) thrills as a wall crumbles—twice! From Japan’s "Acteurs Japonais" (#977) to Italy’s royal "Monza" (#279), and quirky "Charcuterie mécanique" (#107), scenes span trains, dances, donkey races, and snowy battles. A marvel for film buffs and history lovers, it freezes 1890s humanity in flickering frames.
