Where It All Began: The Birth of Commercial Cinema!

Where It All Began: The Birth of Commercial Cinema!

On this day, December 28th, in 1895, history was made at the Grand Cafe in Paris! Brothers Louis and Auguste Lumière, using their invention, the Cinematographe, held the world’s first-ever commercial movie screening. For the first time, the public paid admission to watch a series of short scenes capturing everyday French life. This pivotal event marked the true beginning of cinema as a popular art form and industry. Every blockbuster, comedy, and classic film we enjoy today traces its roots back to this historic Paris debut!
