What Lumière & Company Is About
Lumière & Company, a compilation film made by nearly forty international directors, was created to mark cinema's hundredth anniversary, inviting each director to shoot a short film using the Lumière Brothers' original Cinématographe camera under conditions similar to those of 1895. The rules were strict: no film could exceed 52 seconds, no artificial light or synchronized sound was allowed, only three takes were permitted, and each film had to be a single unbroken shot. The project's concept came from Philippe Poulet of Lyon's Cinema Museum, while photographer and director Sarah Moon assembled and oversaw the project. Participating directors included David Lynch, Wim Wenders, Spike Lee, Youssef Chahine, Abbas Kiarostami, Zhang Yimou, Claude Lelouch, Peter Greenaway, John Boorman, and Lasse Hallström. Who it's for: anyone curious about a distinctive cinema experiment in which nearly forty world directors returned to the most primitive technical conditions of cinema's first century to make 52 second, single-shot films. Who it's not for: those expecting a long, conventional narrative, since the film is a mosaic of dozens of very brief, separate pieces.
