Lumiére reloaded

40 international directors were asked to make a short film using the original Cinematographe invented by the Lumière Brothers, working under conditions similar to those of 1895.
There were three rules:
1. The film could be no longer than 52 seconds.
2. No synchronized sound was permitted.
3. No more than three takes.
