In 1895, Louis and Auguste Lumière hosted the first industrial, community cinema screening of silent, wordless movies – manufactured with the Lumière’s very own cinématographe – at the Le Salon Indien du Grand Café in Paris. Coined by the Lumière brothers, cinema, which means “movie hall”, is shortened from the French term cinématographe – a device for recording and building movie, and projecting it as a series of moving images in sequence.

Cinema has considering the fact that progressed by the a long time, from the early scripted movies of Georges Méliès, initial spoken-dialogue movies this sort of as The Jazz Singer in 1927, and the popularization of colored capabilities with The Gulf Among and The Wizard of Oz, to fainting audiences from visceral screenings this kind of as The Exorcist and The Blair Witch Project, and offered-out IMAX screenings of globally witnessed, record-smashing films these as James Cameron’s Avatar
