Today's Fact
On March 22, 1895, folks saw the first screening of a projected movie in Paris. Two hundred invited guests watched 'Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory,' a one-minute film made by Auguste and Louis Lumière with their new creation, the cinematograph film camera. The film, probably the first real motion picture ever made, was shown together with several short clips, one of which startled the audience with the image of an oncoming train.
