Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory is a short film showing people walking out of a factory at the end of the workday.
The first real movie was made by two French brothers, Auguste and Louis Lumière, in 1895. They invented a camera and projector called the Cinématographe, which could show moving pictures on a screen.
On December 28, 1895, they showed their films to the public in Paris. This was the first time people paid to watch a movie, so it’s called the birth of cinema.
Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory was the first film shown to an audience. It may seem simple today, but at the time, it amazed people and changed the world forever.
