The Cinematograph of the Lumière Brothers (2/108)

In the series important inventions and discoveries from the spheres of geoscience and civil engineering are presented. The viewer gains insight into both the scientific and the socio-political background of a discovery or an invention. Pioneers of science are portrayed, subjects of research are presented and their further development up to the present day is traced. The process and functioning of the research objects are explained by means of computer animation. Dramatized scenes shed light on the working conditions and methods of the scientists. Particularly impressive are the historical film documents, some of which date back to the early years of cinematography. Am 28. Dezember 1895 fand in Paris die erste öffentliche Kinovorführung statt. Im Kinematographen haben die Brüder Lumière geschickt mehrere bereits bekannte Erfindungen kombiniert. Die Dokumentation veranschaulicht die neue Technik mit einer Computeranimation, und sie erzählt die Frühgeschichte des Kinofilms.
