Lumiere, Trip to the Moon and Great Train Robbery

Rather poignant seeing the first ever films. They are obviously lacking in the technology we enjoy today, yet still worth watching if only to see the ingenuity of these early cinema pioneers.

Great Train Robbery (1903)

The first Western

Lumiere (1895)

Simple film obviously reflective of what people had initialy wanted to see -anything!

Trip to the Moon (1902)

Amazing to think how old it is and how exciting this would havve been for audiences viewing it for the first time.
