Lumière!

Watch Lumière! (2016) online on iFILM — Thierry Frémaux's ninety-minute journey through the Lumière Brothers' restored films. The director of the Cannes Film Festival picks out and personally presents more than a hundred early works from 1895 onward: arriving trains, Lyon street markets, factory gates at shift-change.

Martin Scorsese joins the conversation to talk about what the Lumières actually invented — not a movie tradition but a way of watching the world. Frémaux argues each shot was a conscious choice, not an accident of technology. Stream Lumière! online on iFILM and see where it all began.
