"Incunables du cinéma scientifique" is an editing of the first representative scientific films, created between 1872 and 1911, even before Louis Lumière. Pictures are the results of the first cinema inventions and techniques. The cinema is also using like observations tools.
The different showed authors are :
- Eadweard Muybridge : an English photographer
- Etienne Jules Marey: a French physiologist
- Louis Lumière : a French engineer
- Clément Maurice : a French Filmmaker
- Lucien Bull : Marey's assistant
- Roberto Omegna : an Italian filmaker
Except some titles, there are no explanations because there is no speech in early cinema.
There are only pictures to help us understand. They intrigue us. We can answer these questions : what is the context in those days, what are the intentions of the authors and what are their contributions to cinema and science.
