	Movies - Cinematographe

The cinematograph or Lumière Cinématographe is an all-in-one camera, which also serves as a film projector and developer. It was invented in the late-nineteenth century. The first significant public screening of films created by a cinematograph was in Paris on 28 December 1895 -- organized by Auguste and Louis Lumière.

Several versions of cinematographs were developed including ones by Robert Royou Beard, Cecil Wray, Georges Demenÿ, and Alfred Wrench, culminating with the Cinématographe of the Lumière brothers..

Discussion of early film history is riddled with references to "the invention of the cinematograph" which is often found attributed to the Lumières -- pioneers of publicity and show business as well as film and technology. Although the Lumière Cinématographe was a remarkable development in the history of cinema, cameras were concurrently designed and engineered by many competing inventors, all wishing to lay claim to the "first."
