Lumière ! (Thierry Frémaux) Collection

Lumière! reintroduces some of cinema's foundational moments through gorgeous restored prints of the work of the Lumière Brothers.

In one of those wonderful coincidences of history, lumière, the French word for “light,” was also the last name of brothers Auguste and Louis, whose brilliant invention, the cinematograph, helped to inaugurate the most beloved art form of the last 130 years.
