00:00Thank you so much for joining us today.
00:30Welcome to MEDIEN TV, on March 19th 1895,
00:57him, Lumière, resting, his cinematographer, rue Saint-Victor,
01:02in the Mont-Plaisir district, in Lyon.
01:04And since then, the 7th art, multiple movements,
01:07has found a place of choice in our daily lives,
01:10a wonderful machine to distort time,
01:12an incredible invention that sends us back to the mirror of the world and of ourselves.
01:17And then, its background, for the craziest imaginers,
01:20art is capable of being infinitely small,
01:23to push back the boundaries of the possible and reach the universal.
01:27130 years that it lasts, that we predict its death,
01:31that it resists the undercurrents of history,
01:34that it assimilates technological mutations,
01:36that it integrates revolutions,
01:38that it seizes the worries of time,
01:40and that we do not get tired of it.
01:42And to pay tribute to this invention,
01:44Thierry Frémaux, director of the Institut Lumière in Lyon
01:47and the General Delegate of the Festival de Cannes,
01:50has just released a film entitled
01:52Lumière, l'aventure continue.
01:55I invite you to watch the trailer of this documentary
01:59about the 30 years, 130 years of cinema in watch.
02:05When Lumière turns the crank,
02:07the great story is played in the technical accomplishment
02:10of a small iron and wood device with perfect contours.
02:16130 years ago, the Lumière brothers invented the cinematographer.
02:20Everything was already there.
02:22Comedy, drama,
02:25the play of the actors and the faces of the children,
02:28travelling by boat,
02:30and panoramas by tramway.
02:36A hundred of unprecedented and restored Lumière views
02:39offer the intact spectacle of the world at the beginning of the century.
02:42This extraordinary return to the origins of cinema
02:45also says that the journey has never stopped
02:48and that the adventure continues.
03:00Cinema is therefore as we will always know it.
03:11In their family villa, the two engineers,
03:14him and Auguste Lumière,
03:16imagined the revolutionary machine.
03:18Before them, the American Thomas Edison
03:21had built an individual watchmaker.
03:24A small room, a small stage,
03:26and we are still far from the big screen.
03:28The two brothers invent the cinematographer,
03:30able to film and project images.
03:33In December 1895, for the first public screening,
03:3733 privileged people are present in the basement of the Grand Café in Paris.
03:41In all, there are more than 1,450 Lumière films
03:45shot at the origins of cinema,
03:47from 1895 to 1905,
03:50and around the world.
03:51After the release of the first film,
03:53the first film in the history of cinema,
03:55several hundred particularly,
03:57well preserved by the brothers themselves.
04:00I suggest you watch this second excerpt
04:02by Thierry Frémaux,
04:04Lumière, the adventure continues.
04:06Let's watch it together.
04:11THE ADVENTURES OF THIERRY FRÉMAUX
04:27The release of the Lumière factories changes everything.
04:29This view offers the evidence of the proof.
04:32The quarrel of the inventors vanishes.
04:34The deep nature of the cinematographer
04:36is already the one that will imbue
04:38the millions of films made thanks to him,
04:40one after the other.
04:42Cinema is, from the outset,
04:44as we will always know it.
04:58Cinema has been something
05:00that has protected our history,
05:02our past.
05:03We are the generation, the civilization,
05:05that of the 20th century,
05:07which went to the cinema.
05:09This experience has taught us the world
05:11in a different way.
05:12We must preserve it.
05:14This is what Thierry Frémaux explains.
05:16At the arrival of television,
05:17the Internet or platforms,
05:18cinema was given for dead several times.
05:21Covid-19 had even managed to close
05:23the dark rooms for the first time.
05:26The two world wars had not yet been achieved.
05:29Satyamar still resists.
05:31He has hard skin.
05:33He resists himself to defend himself.
05:35Let's watch this new excerpt
05:37from Thierry Frémaux's documentary.
05:39Let's watch.
05:51It is always easy to mention Ozu
05:53when a Japanese meal is filmed
05:55at the height of a tatami.
05:57The director of Voyage to Tokyo
05:59was not yet born,
06:00but the chronicle of this family
06:02anticipates the best of his cinema.
06:04When light arrives,
06:05Japan just opens up to the West.
06:07At the same time picturesque
06:09and perfectly authentic,
06:10this splendid view also testifies
06:12that light walks on the traces
06:14of the Japanese western movement of then.
06:18Thank you, dear viewers,
06:20for your loyalty.
