I'm not sure there's a "founder" per se, but Eadweard Muybridge (and yes, that's how he spelled it; his PARENTS spelled it "Edward Muggeridge" but for some reason he didn't like that) is a strong contender. He didn't invent "cinema" per se but he did pioneering work in capturing multiple images of an object in motion and then displaying those images sequentially in a device called a "zoopraxiscope".

More directly, there's Thomas Edison (who came up with the concept of the kinetoscope, the first motion picture camera) and William Kennedy Dickson (who worked for Edison at the time and actually built it).


And finally, there's Woodville Latham, who (working with Dickson) figured out how to use much longer pieces of film without tearing them and how to project them on a screen.
