Lumière Auguste (1862-1954) et Louis (1864-1948)

French engineers considered as the inventors of cinema. They organised the first public cinematography projection in Paris in 1895 (there were 33 spectators!) They also understood the interest of filming real scenes, thus becoming the pioneers of cinematographic reporting. We owe to them also the invention of colour photography and even a procedure for three dimensional cinema (1935).
