It all began in Paris. Etienne-Gaspard Robertson gave one of his first screenings of "Fantasmagoria" in 1798. But how did we move from the magic lantern to the cinematography of the Lumière brothers? Robertson, Reynaud, Plateau, Muybridge and Marey spearheaded the adventure. Thanks to these brilliant inventors, we travel across the 19th century, ending in Paris in 1895 in the Salon Indien du Grand Café, where the first public movie screening took place.
