The Cinematograph: Birth of an Art

The Cinematograph: Birth of an Art (2021) is a documentary, history film directed by Stefan Cornic rated 7.2/10.

Throughout the 19th century, imaginative and visionary artists and inventors brought about the advent of a new look, absolutely modern and truly cinematographic, long before the revolutionary invention of the Lumière brothers and the arrival of December 28, 1895, the historic day on which the first cinema performance took place.
