Which was the first movie?

Which was the first movie?

Did you know that the first motion pictures appeared in 1893 and that at a trade fair in America, crowds queued up to view 90-second-long black and white films?

As they were unenlarged, each individual had to peer through a hole in a box to see the moving pictures.

When the first public screening of a movie took place in 1895 in Paris, the audience stared at the screen in wonder.

Back then, nobody could envisage the extent to which the “movies” would become part of our lives.
