Encyclopédie audiovisuelle du cinéma - Season 1 Episode 1 Les inventeurs ou la rencontre des photographes et des fantômes
Claude-Jean Philippe sees the invention of cinema as the meeting of photographers and ghosts. This film chronologically follows the progress of two inventions: Joseph Plateau's discovery of the persistence of retinal images, the perfection of his phenakitiscope, and Nieppe's invention of photography. The Lumière brothers' cinematograph is the culmination of this double discovery.
