The French had a wholly different view of this new machine. It was their insight that you could project a film onto a large screen, and by magnifying the image greatly intensify the effect. The French projected the first movie onto a screen in Paris, March 1895, using equipment from Auguste and Louis Lumiere. |

The quality of the films shown in New York and Berlin was extremely poor and used processes that had no lasting impact on film technology. The 'true' debut of the motion picture is therefore usually dated to December 28 1895 in Paris, where at the Grand Cafe in [Boulevard des Capucines]? the Lumiere brothers had their first paying audience. |

[Synchronized sound]? was first demonstrated in 1900 at the [Paris Exposition]? with a separate sound-on-disc system. Sound-on-film was first patented in 1906 by [Eugene Lauste]? in London, although the system was not really successful until 1910 with the words "J'entends tr? bien maintenant". A completed projector project was stymied by the outbreak of war and it was not until September 1922 that the process was demonstrated to an invited audience in Berlin. Yet again it was in New York in April 1923 that people first paid. |

The shift that occurred in the 1980's from seeing movies in a theater to watching videos on a VCR, is a move quite close to the original idea of Thomas Edison. |

Film is now (2001) in the process of making another transition, from physical film stock to digital cinema technology, driven by the availability of low cost data storage and high-resolution digital displays. |
