First Public Movie

The first practical (with light, electricity & film) motion picture was shown to an invited audience on June 6, 1894 in Richmond, Indiana. C. Francis Jenkins began experimenting with film in 1890 and a motion picture projector in 1892. He called it a "motion picture projecting box" and named it the Phantoscope. The film showed a vaudeville dancer performing a butterfly dance. The June 6, 1894 exhibition was the first documented showing of a filmed motion picture before an audience. (Richmond Telegram, June 6, 1894. Photographic Times, July 7, 1894)

The first movie shown in Paris, France was on March 22, 1895, when the (National Society for the Promotion of Industry) gathered to watch a film depicting factory workers leaving for the dinner hour. The movie was filmed and the projector was invented by brothers Louis Lumi�re (1864�1948) and Auguste Lumi�re (1862�1954).
