Yes; France protects film for the life of the creator plus 70 years, using the year of death of the last living collaborator. Auguste Lumiere died in 1954, meaning the films will be protected through 2024.

Because they were so young when they made the films, and so old when they died, some of their earliest works will have been protected for 129 years!
