Film Notes

The University of South Carolina con­serves nitrate outtakes of brothers Louis and Auguste Lumière, filmed in Lyon on 10 July 1925 by Paris-based Fox newsreel cameraman Frédéric Fesneau. These outtakes show the two brothers in their laboratory, examining tests for new photographic paper, studying chemicals, and showing how their cinematographic apparatus works. The footage also reveals the Lumière brothers’ first studio: the garden and surrounding grounds of their family villa, where they are seen walk­ing and sitting in the sun, enjoying the company of their dog Nyriam. Fesneau sent the footage and accompanying notes to Fox in New York on 14 July, aboard the SS Leviathan. American audiences saw the Lumière brothers on screen on 15 August 1925, as part of Fox News newsreel Vol. 6, Release 92. Although the edited newsreel has not survived, it is easy to imagine that it celebrated the 30th anniversary of the invention of their Cinématographe.
