KINGS OF FILMS / Kings of Films / 60 Seconds by Masters In 1895, the Lumière brothers, Auguste and Louis, of France invented the Cinématographe, a machine that could both film and project images. This marked the first public screening of films. The first films, such as "Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory" and "Arrival of a Train," were short, lasting only one to three minutes, but the citizens of Paris were amazed. At that moment, the history of cinema began. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of cinema in '95, 40 internationally acclaimed film directors competed in creating short films under almost the same conditions as the original: "52 seconds of screen time and no simultaneous sound recording." The film includes behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the directors, offering a fascinating glimpse into their personalities, which we rarely see. Featuring both established and emerging master directors such as David Lynch, Wim Wenders, and Patrice Leconte, the collection showcases works brimming with individuality and creativity.
