LUMIERE BROTHERS
(THEY WERE FRENCH)

29. Modern cinema is generally regarded as descending from the
work of the French Lumière brothers in 1895, and their show
first came to London in 1896.
The first people to build and run a working 35 mm camera in
Britain were Robert W. Paul and Birt Acres. They made the
first British film Incident at Clovelly Cottage in February
1895.
If we see carefully, we can notice that many of the movies we
watch has a British influence, or they were filmed in the UK.
We can learn about the british people, their costumes,
traditions, etc. by seeing a film made in the UK.
