THE FATHERS OF CINEMATOGRAPHY Auguste Lumière (1862 – 1954) and Louis Lumière (1864 – 1948), were among the earliest manufacturers of photography equipment, best known for their Cinématographe motion picture system and the short films they produced between 1895 and 1905.  Their screening of a film lasting just 46 seconds on 22 March 1895 at the Society for the Development of National Industry in Paris was the first presentation of a projected film and is widely regarded as the birth of cinema.
