The first motion pictures by Lumiere Brothers

Workers Leaving The Lumière Factory in Lyon (also known as La Sortie des usines Lumière à Lyon) - a documentary, the first motion pictures shot by Lumiere Brothers in Lyon, France on 19 March 1895. The film was screened for the first time during private projection on 22 March 1895.

The public debut at the Grand Café came a few months later and consisted of the ten short films.

Each film was 17 meters long, and run for approximately 50 seconds.

The interesting fact is that Lumiere Brothers shot Sortie des usines Lumière à Lyon for the three times, because they were not satisfied from one version. The last attempt was according to them the best one because it was caught in a film frame consisting of the beginning and the ending (door opens, workers leave and door closes).
