Light! A screening-show by Thierry Frémaux

**Light! A Screening-Show by Thierry Frémaux** 130 years ago, Louis and Auguste Lumière invented the Cinematograph, sparking the birth of cinema. By filming Lyon, Paris, and the entire planet, they opened a window to the world with still shots, panoramas, comedies, dramas, portraits, and landscapes. That moment marked the dawn of a new art form that would shape history. On this special event, celebrating the invention of cinema on 28 December 1895, Thierry Frémaux will propose and comment on a carefully curated selection of restored Lumière films. Each film is revived with sparkling new restoration work that brings their original brilliance into vivid focus. Experience these icons in the silence of silent cinema or enriched by the graceful music of pianist Didier Martel. The dazzling modernity of this extraordinary, yet largely unknown, body of work will be projected onto the huge screen of the Grand Rex, creating an unforgettable cinematic experience. Join us to celebrate the 130th anniversary of the Lumière Cinematograph and to celebrate cinema itself.
