Global Movie Day

Brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière patented the world's first apparatus for producing a moving image on February 13, 1895 In December of the same year, the inventors demonstrated the work of the Cinematographe by staging a screening in Paris of the film "The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat Station" In recognition of the contribution made by the Lumière brothers to the development of one of the arts, World Cinema Day is celebrated every second Saturday in February The first commercial showing of the film at the Grand Café on Capuchin Boulevard gave rise to the development of an entire industry 2 years before the Lumiere brothers filed documents to register their patent in the United States, Edison's kinescope was developed However, this device did not allow for collective viewing of films The cinematography of French inventors allowed films to be seen by a large number of spectators The Lumières may have used some of Thomas Edison's ideas, but it was thanks to them that mass viewing of paintings became possible Therefore, the celebration of Global Movie Day is timed to coincide with the screening of a 50-second film in 1895 on the Boulevard des Capucines Contemporary cinema is represented by films of various genres and directions Oddly enough, it was the Lumiere brothers who became the founders of diversity They shot both documentaries (for example, “Workers leaving the Lumiere factory”) and chronicles (“Arrival of delegates to the photo congress in Leon”), as well as feature films (the comedy “Waterer”) In total, the brothers created more than 1,800 paintings from 1895 to 1946, which are today stored in the archives of the French Cinematheque The Lumières were responsible for the invention of some techniques that, as the industry developed, were adopted by filmmakers These include, for example, shooting from a moving platform (traveling) The founders of cinema used a gondola floating along a canal in Venice for this purpose The Lumières edited their own and other people's films Their company provided rental equipment for filming, and then glued together the frames of the tapes for subsequent demonstration at mass film screenings The Lumières donated 60% of the proceeds from commercial sessions to the authors of the paintings The first film poster was also presented to the public by the enterprising French She announced a screening of the film at the Grand Cafe The poster showed people standing around waiting for a public film showing In August 2008, the poster was sold at Sotheby's for £160,000 The Lumière brothers laid the foundations of the modern film industry at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries They saw great potential in showing films to large audiences Thanks to the invention of the cinematograph, people all over the world were able not only to contemplate a moving image, but to begin to comprehend the art of cinema in all its genre diversity Therefore, it is quite fair that the celebration of Global Movie Day is associated with the Lumiere brothers
