French filmmaker brothers
POPULARITY
In this episode, we celebrate the holidays with a stroll past the Opera Garnier. Bright department store windows, glittering performances, and even cinema lights: the Grands Boulevards has it all. This is where the Lumiere Brothers introduced film to Paris audiences, and where Nadar ran his 19th-century photography studio. As always, for more info, links, and photos, check out my website! Thanks as always to Bremner Fletcher for technical expertise, and general know-how. The Improbable Walks theme music is performed by David Symons, New Orleans accordionist extraordinaire.
We're kicking it WAY old school this week as Tobin Addington drops by to give us a little bit of film history as we discuss The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat! In what's quite possibly the first vehicle ever captured on film, we talk about the Lumiere Brothers' methodology in capturing this shot, the many iterations this film has seen throughout the years, and whether or not Dominic Toretto and the family could have hijacked this train. We also discuss the lessons that Thomas Edison learned from the Lumieres and we debunk some myths surrounding this film. Joe picks up on something very insightful. Tobin shares some recommendations on other films to watch from this era. We dive down a rabbit hole of the history of movie trailers and nepo babies. We play the Letterboxd game.

Who am I? What is true? Human beings have posed these questions as long as they have been able to think. In this six-week class we will take a look at a few of the most enduring approaches to these questions. We will consider ideas about the purpose of human life, the means and ends of self-knowledge, and the challenge of discerning what is really true. Instructor: Lyn Mattoon See this instructor's bio Get Class List Location: ZOOM Times: Tuesday, 1-3pm Dates: Jan 17 - March 7 Sessions: 8 decorative leaf Alexis de Tocqueville: Democracy in America In 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville, a young French aristocrat, traveled to America and found the future. The nations of the earth, he concluded, or at least the enlightened part of them, were moving inevitably toward a condition of social equality that in the world of politics was taking the form of democracy. This new kind of polity was rising on the ruins of the old, hierarchical societies, and the young republic was the clearest example of it. Previous visitors from overseas had concentrated on the minutiae of daily American life, but Tocqueville was after bigger game. He wanted to tease out the broad implications of increasing social equality and democracy rather than focus on the details that were bound to differ from one nation to another. These implications then would have the widest possible relevance to the various societies of the emerging modern world. This new dispensation, Tocqueville realized, was full of both promise and peril, and he devoted himself to transmitting this balanced assessment to his European contemporaries. The book that resulted, Democracy in America, has been called the "greatest work ever written about one country by a citizen of another." Because his conclusions were so general and of such wide application his book appropriately addressed the Americans of his own time, his fellow citizens in France still trying to come to terms with the modern world, and, not least, speaks to our own distracted society today, the uneasy inheritor of the raw republic in whose image he saw the future. I'll include a PowerPoint presentation to illustrate my talks.

Invention of the movie camera offered a broad and diverse tool for artists to express their own interpretation of nature and life around them. Camera became another tool, a "brush" for artists to create moving images which projected their own aesthetic principles and perceptions. There will be a presentation of early cinema from France, Soviet Union, England and the United States. Early films by the Lumiere Brothers to Andy Warhol and how through ages, cinema has evolved from a vehicle to tell a story or document everyday life, to a tool expressing an individual artist's personal vision. Through the sessions of the lectures there will be an ongoing discussion about the goal for Experimental Films, which is to place the viewer in a more active and more thoughtful relationship to the film, which will be discussed. The 6 sessions will be an opportunity for the participants to understand this particular form of cinema and the various expressions and theorizations from various artists. The sessions will be coordinated with projections of stills from movies and at the end of each session there will be screening of a film, and an open discussion by the participants. During the entire sessions of the courses, informal and open-minded discussions of opinions will be encouraged. SPECIAL NOTE: Donald Sosin who is a well regarded musician and has composed musical scores for may experimental films will be appearing at the Wednesday, January 18th session for the Experimental Cinema. please see details below.

What most of us do not know of are the unsung heroes of World War II, those who contributed significantly to the Allies' victory: men and women who were critical to the war effort but engaged in clandestine operations; men and women who provided essential services to the Allied effort. This course is both a lecture by Lynne Olson (author of Citizens of London and other exceptional books) together with classes led by Larry and Carol Rand. Instructor: Larry&Carol Rand Get Class List Location: Zoom Times: Friday, 1-3pm Dates: Jan 20 - March 10 Sessions: 8 decorative leaf Shakespeare Playreading We'll read aloud and discuss Twelfth Night and A Midsummer Night's Dream . The two plays are often called "festive" comedies because each commemorates a significant day marked by popular license in the Elizabethan calendar. Twelfth Night refers to the last night of the twelve days of Christmas, and in spite of its religious origin it was a thoroughly secular celebration. A Midsummer Night's Dream takes its title from the evening before midsummer day, the summer solstice and the longest day of the year, when the prospect of warmth and lengthening days inspired much misbehavior. If time permits, we'll also read Troilus and Cressida, one of Shakespeare's so-called "problem plays," which contain both tragic and comic elements and thus resist easy placement in the canon. I'll scroll the texts of the plays on your screens. Instructor: Robert Rumsey See this instructor's bio Get Class List

When you try to name the father of motion pictures, you might think of Thomas Edison, or maybe the Lumiere Brothers. But how many of you would name Louis Le Prince?

“Persona” is Latin for “mask”, which makes this Age Of The Mask we've been experiencing for the past year & a half an ideal time to talk about Ingmar Bergman's masterpiece. Well, it's one of his MANY masterpieces. Dude could direct. This is a trippy art film that gives us plenty to debate and tear apart. It's also been imitated half to death in the 55 years since it was made, which is perhaps why it feels just a touch dated. Bibi Andersson and Liv Ullmann are terrific playing characters who deal with issues of identity, grief, guilt and deep emotional pain. But are the 2 women really just 1 woman who's experiencing a serious mental crisis? Imaginary friend?! See, very influential. So head to your summer beach house (for the last few days of this summer) and let the 406th Ellises' Analysis pry its way into your earholes during the trip. Well, Actually: John Ford was 8th on the Sight & Sound's 2002 Critics poll of Top 10 Greatest Directors Of All Time, but surprisingly he wasn't ranked on the Top 10 as chosen by directors. Also, the Bergman movie where he used a spider to represent God is Through A Glass Darkly. Also also, Georges Melies definitely was a film pioneer, but the brothers we were thinking of are the Lumiere Brothers.

Winner of three Academy Awards and starring Gary Oldman as Dracula, this is one of the truly underrated Vampire films of our time. And the best of Francis Ford Coppola's horror films. The film captures Bram Stoker's London - from Bedlam Asylum to the Lumiere Brothers on Regents Street - while adding a romantic twist to Stoker's famous vampire. Cast also includes Keanu Reeves, Wynona Rider, and Anthony Hopkins.
Even though the men who invented the movie camera and the first films didn't believe it had any commercial future, they sent a Frenchman to Australia--via Bombay--to show their new magical toy. By the time the Frenchman left--several weeks later--India was changed for ever.In this episode we look at how and when movies first were exhibited in India and introduce you to some of the early adopters who played a pivotal role in establishing cinema in South Asia.
Breaking news - Warner Brother is going to release every single movie on one day on Crackle. Or something, I dunno, I just wanna watch Dune man give it to me already.

Thomas Edison, The Lumiere Brothers, pornography, cinemascope, cages full of monkeys, Belgium, and so much more! Plus a round of "Let's Give Them Some MOVIE To Talk About" and also them sweet recommendations!
We have been learning a lot about the various country and their inventions but some of the most popular things ever invented in France. In this episode, we will talk about some of these popular French inventions. We all know about Parachute right? A balloon-like mode of travel in the air. Yes, Parachute, the entertaining ride was a French invention invented by Louis Sebastian in the 18th century. The word Parachute came from the french word “parasol” and “shoot” means to protect from falling. The 1st parachute jump was done in the year 1783. Amazing, right? How many of you love clicking photographs? Most of us do, right? We often showcase our creativity through the photographs we click. But do you know the story behind the invention of photographs? The world’s first photograph was invented by Nicéphore Niépce, from a window. The first black and white photograph took 8-9 hours to process before it gave a final result. Louis Daguerre, a French artist reduced this long processing time of developing a photograph, and thus in the year 1838, the world had its first confirmed photograph. Did you know, a single frame is known as a “still photograph” but when a number of frames are watched in motion, it is known as “Cinema”. France contributed to inventing the first video camera in the world. It was invented by a Frenchman named Louis Le Prince in 1888. He was also the first man to shoot the first moving sequence of a film from his invention. Right after that, the Lumiere Brothers of France were the first to announce the first public screening in December 1985. In the year 1816, physician Rene Theofield invented the Stretoscope, an instrument to analyze the sound of the human body like our heartbeat. Though this instrument is very advanced these days but back in 1816, it was just like a plastic pipe when used the first time ever. So hope you liked this episode and we will bring the inventions from another country next time. www.chimesradio.com http://onelink.to/8uzr4g https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/ https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week's episode, Stefani tells us all about the Lumiere Brothers and how they helped advance movie making and movie viewing into what we know today.
Sharing the movie experience with a theater full of people can be exhilarating or frightening—sometimes both. You put yourself in the hands of the filmmaker to take that ride, not knowing where or how it’s going to end. In rare cases a movie can provide an audience with an ecstatic, transcendent experience, almost religious in its power that leaves you walking on air afterward and running back to grasp that experience again. Sometimes the audience isn’t ready for that story or style and the shared experience with the audience is much darker and marked with disapproval…and sometimes outright hatred. It’s as if the film has committed sacrilege against your expectations for it. When that happens in a horror film is it the fault of the film or filmmaker, or the audience not prepared for the “horrible-beautiful” imagery and storytelling that challenges the comfort zone? In this episode we discuss religious and sacrilegious experiences in movie theaters, and the unwritten pacts that audiences make with filmmakers, and how the shared experience in a theater affects your own experience of the film Movies Discussed: In 1895, the Lumiere Brothers showed their film “Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat Station”.
