Thanks to a combination of the principles of three devices &#8211; the camera, the printer and the projector -, Lumi\u00e8re was able to develop this new invention. The cinematograph\u2019s patent was deposited on February 13, 1895 and the first public screening took place at the end of this same year, December 28, 1895, in the basement of a caf\u00e9 in Paris.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organized with his brother with whom he co-directed several films later, this screening contained\u00a0 a dozen films lasting around one minute each. Screenings were then repeated and, as their popularity increased, the Lumi\u00e8re brothers organized more and more events and produced a large number of films to fill in the program. In 1898, they had more than 1000 films to their credit. The Lumi\u00e8re brothers&#8217; films are, for the most part, documentaries.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a id=\"George\"><\/a>George M\u00e9li\u00e8s<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the Lumi\u00e8re brothers have directed some fiction films, such as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">L\u2019arroseur arros\u00e9<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(1896), George M\u00e9li\u00e8s is the first to really do fiction films. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Trip to the Moon<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (1902), his most famous film, is also the first sci-fi movie; the story taking place in the space. Nearly 500 fiction films will then follow in M\u00e9li\u00e8s&#8217; production, which departs from the representation of everyday life made by the Lumi\u00e8re brothers. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Trip to the Moon<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is also distinguished from the first films by its longer duration of 14 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because he began his career as a magician and theater director, M\u00e9li\u00e8s was also able to develop techniques that would lead to the first special effects of the history of cinema, such as editing, melting and superimposing. Thanks to these advances, he earned the title of &#8220;father of special effects&#8221;. M\u00e9li\u00e8s even built a shed to realize his shoots: one of the first film studios in the world!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a id=\"Griffith\"><\/a>D.

Two figures understood it\u00a0 particularly quickly: Max Linder and Charlie Chaplin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gabriel Leuvielle played in some comic short films before creating the character that made him famous: Max Linder. More than 100 shorts were directed thereafter starring Max, always in crazy situations: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Max Linder&#8217;s Film Debut <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(1910), <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Max Went Around the World<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (1910), etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The character had a\u00a0 recognizable costume: tuxedo, hat, mustache\u2026 A costume that is the foundation for the famous Charlot, character played for many years by Charlie Chaplin. Charlie Chaplin is unquestionably the master of burlesque in the United States and has an exceptional contribution to Hollywood cinema. As in Linder\u2019s films, his character Charlot is carried in ridiculous situations to make the viewer laugh. Starting with the short film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charlot journalist <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(1914), Chaplin produced numerous short films before making his first feature film, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Kid<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which made him famous in 1921.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His most complex film is probably <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Gold Rush <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(1925), in which he took inspiration from dramatic events in California&#8217;s gold mining adventure to create a burlesque comedy. The shooting of this film, however, required special means: many scenes of outdoor shooting in the mountains of Sierra Nevada, a huge number of extras and the construction of models of the mountains for studio shooting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the comic cinema of the 1920s would not be the same without Buster Keaton, whose movies multiply jokes and stunts, in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The General<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (1927) for example.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a id=\"Soviet\"><\/a>Soviet masters<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The October Revolution was the starting point of Russian cinema. Initially used to spread Lenin&#8217;s ideological message &#8211; trains transformed into film studios moved everywhere in Russia between 1918 and 1920 &#8211; the cinema unfolded in two different ways during the 1920s: through documentary by Dziga Vertov and through editing by Lev Kuleshov and Serguei M. Eisenstein.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The advent of the documentary occured in particular thanks to the foundation, in 1923, by Vertov, of a newspaper of cinematographic news, the KinoPravda (cinema of truth). In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Man with the Camera<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (1929), Vertov filmed a Russian city and the daily life of its inhabitants for a day. Some formal explorations, however, were also presented in this documentary, including the famous <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mise en abyme<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where we follow the man who films.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By a cinema that claims to be the propaganda of Marxist-Leninist power, Eisenstein had also pushed cinematographic vocabulary to another level, particularly through its editing games. He developed what he called \u201cparallel editing,\u201d a process by which he created a symbolic connection between two images through editing. His first film, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strike<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (1925), in which he told about a typically Marxist subject, a workers&#8217; revolt in a Russian factory, is a fine example of this process. At the very end, when the employees are massacred by the leaders, the scene is shown next to images of animals at the slaughterhouse. Eisenstein used cinematographic vocabulary to reinforce the discourse he proposes in his films.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a id=\"Expressionism\"><\/a>German Expressionism<\/span><\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9776\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9776\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9776\" src=\"https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Cabinet-of-Dr-Caligari-Allstar-WERNER_KRAUSS_sal46731-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"The-Cabinet-of-Dr-Caligari-Allstar-WERNER_KRAUSS_sal46731\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Cabinet-of-Dr-Caligari-Allstar-WERNER_KRAUSS_sal46731-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Cabinet-of-Dr-Caligari-Allstar-WERNER_KRAUSS_sal46731-533x300.jpg 533w, https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Cabinet-of-Dr-Caligari-Allstar-WERNER_KRAUSS_sal46731-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lepetitseptieme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/The-Cabinet-of-Dr-Caligari-Allstar-WERNER_KRAUSS_sal46731.jpg 608w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9776\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The cabinet of Dr Caligari<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like its pictorial counterpart, which began in 1908 and ended with the First World War, film Expressionism played on the emotions of the viewer through its tendency to create dark atmospheres, gloomy stories, and menacing sets and characters. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Robert Wiene, 1919) launched the movement by telling the story of a monster slave of a mad doctor. Apart from the flashback, however, there is little formal and technical progress in this work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another director, F. W. Murnau, also marked the history of German Expressionism. By revisiting the Bram Stoker\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dracula<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nosferatu the Vampire <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(1922), he laid the foundation for vampire movies for many years. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">L&#8217;Aurore <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(1927), a film he made in the United States at the request of producer William Fox, earned him the very first Oscar for best film. Its narrative &#8211; the peaceful life of a country family disrupted by the arrival of a city-dweller who perverts the man\u2019s beautiful values &#8211; is simple, but the film is a great example of the formal innovations happening in the film industry of this time: travellings, overprints, perspective games, intertitles, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a id=\"Impressionism\"><\/a>French Impressionism<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This first avant-garde movement in the French Cinema is created by some directors who claimed for a new cinema, no longer simply based on stories created for theater or literature, but an autonomous art in itself. Formal innovations are therefore at the heart of the mandate given to filmmakers like Germaine Dulac, Jean Epstein and Abel Gance. The latter has also made one of the masterpieces of the movement, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Wheel,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 1923, a film whose original duration exceeded 9 hours!
