On 11 July 1895, Auguste and Louis Lumière demonstrated their film technology, the cinématographe, to scientists. The cinématographe was an all-in-one motion picture film camera, a film developer and a projector. Their first film was Sortie de l'Usine Lumière de Lyon which is often cited as the first real motion picture ever made although this is disputed
