Featured review
Run to the Sea in 1895
The tenth film the Lumiere brothers showed at their mini-film festival screening, shown in Paris, in December of 1895, was part of a group of ten films. This was the last film shown. To some, this is the tenth film ever shown with a paid admission. There may be some historians that dispute that assessment. Historical records weren't that great and some dates were lost to time. All of this did happen in 1895, but certain dates do dispute, that some exhibitors may have beaten the Lumiere brothers, by a couple months, to the admission price jackpot. Either way, these are some of the first films ever made. The Sea (1895), gave the audience the first film setting at the beach. Look at the swimming fashions of the day. Everyone is fully dressed with shoes. It was a different time and we wouldn't be able to enjoy it without these early films. Swimmers running down a dock, jumping in the surf and running back to the dock. That's all it was. That's all it needed to be. Put yourself in a 1895, frame-of-mind and soak up some sun at the beach, 130 years ago.
