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.

“I do indeed think that cinema is mortal. There is a lot of evidence already that it is dying on its feet.”
