Bataille de boules de neige | 00:50 | 1896 | France
Director: Louis Lumière
Louis (and brother Auguste) Lumiere are credited with the world's first public film screening on December 28, 1895. The lumiére brothers are noted pioneers of both technical and creative attribute of the moving image, primarily taking scenes form everyday life. Bataille de boules de neige, shot in Lyon, is but one example of over 1,425 short films that the brothers produced, now considered primitive precursors to documentary filmmaking.
