A collection of 114 early films by the Lumière brothers is restored and compiled by director of the Cannes Film Festival and the institut lumière Thierry Frémaux.
The sequel to LUMIÈRE! THE ADVENTURE BEGINS reveals another hundred Lumière films, all immaculately restored, and aims above all to explore more deeply the history of the invention and affirmation of cinema in the world. This new feature-length film, following the great success and worldwide release of its predecessor, will confirm to audiences everywhere that the roots of the greatest and most beautiful works in the history of cinema lie in its origins, which are both profoundly French and truly international. The soundtrack will be drawn from works by the composer Gabriel Fauré, a contemporary of the Lumière brothers. The film was conceived, and is narrated by, Thierry Frémaux, Director General of the Institut Lumière and artistic director of the Cannes Film Festival.
