Louis Lumière (Besançon, October 5, 1864 – Bandol, June 6, 1948) was a French inventor, director, and entrepreneur, considered along with his brother Auguste one of the fathers of cinema. By developing Edison's Kinetoscope, the two brothers patented the Cinématographe, an innovative device that served as a camera, printer, and projector. On December 28, 1895, they organized the first commercial public film screening at the Salon Indien du Grand Café in Paris, marking the official birth of the seventh art. Among their first works, short films depicting real life, were "La sortie de l'usine Lumière à Lyon" and the famous "L'arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat". Subsequently, Louis dedicated himself to the development of color photography, patenting the Autochrome Lumière process in 1903, the first commercially successful method. For his revolutionary contributions in the field of imaging, he received numerous honors, including the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
