1895. gada 22. martā
brāļi Lumjēri privātai auditorijai uzrīkoja pirmo
kinoseansu.
This first screening on March 22, 1895 took
place in Paris, at the "Society for the Development of the National
Industry", in front of an audience of 200 people [...] The main focus of
this conference by Louis Lumière were the recent developments in the
photograph industry, mainly the research on polychromy (color
photography). It was much to Lumière's surprise that the moving
black-and-white images retained more attention than the colored stills
photographs.
