O Regador Regado

Um jardineiro acaba todo molhado devido uma brincadeira de criança. Primeiro filme cômico da história.

Pompiers à Lyon

In the foreground, smoke billows. Four horse-drawn fire wagons approach and pass in front of a stationary camera. Two horses draw each wagon, and each wagon carries from two to eight firefighters. After the wagons pass, carts and pedestrians resume traffic on the street.

Snowball Fight

Wintertime in Lyon. About a dozen people, men and women, are having a snowball fight in the middle of a tree-lined street. The cyclist coming along the road becomes the target of opportunity. He falls off his bicycle. He's not hurt, but he rides back the way he came, as the fight continues.

The Pillar of Fire

A devil wearing bat-like wings and brandishing a trident dances around a giant pot, conjuring forth flame from his trident to lit a fire beneath the pot. After the devil works the fire with bellows, an angelic woman emerges from the pot. The devil and the pot vanish as the woman performs a dance, waving about her diaphanous sleeves until she conjures forth another fire, then she rises amongst the smoke into the air.

Demolição de um Muro

Auguste Lumière dirige quatro operários na demolição de um antigo muro da fábrica Lumière. Um trabalhador está pressionando a parede para dentro com um parafuso, enquanto outro está empurrando com uma picareta. Quando a parede atinge o solo, uma nuvem de poeira branca gira. Três trabalhadores continuam a demolição do muro com picaretas.

La Palestine en 1896

Lumière's documents life in Palestine.

Protéa

Protéa is the last film directed by Victorin-Hippolyte Jasset, one of the early film pioneers in France. The hero of this film is a female spy, an acrobatic Mata-Hari, played by his favorite actress, Josette Andriot, who wore a characteristic costume of a close-fitting black jersey, two years before Musidora achieved cult status with her similar appearance as Irma Vep. This final masterpiece reflects Jasset's popular style: rhythmic action, fantastic realism, rich visuals, an anarchistic philosophy, a disdain for psychology, and an attention to lighting that earned him the nickname “the Rembrandt of the cinema". Although Jasset died shortly after completion, the film had considerable success and Andriot went on to make four more films in the series with other directors.

Bom Dia, Vietnã

Convocado pelo exército para transmitir um programa de rádio, Cronauer acaba com a caretice das ondas pasteurizadas da rádio, com suas piadas e os últimos sucessos musicais da América. Os soldados o veneram enquanto as altas patentes o consideram um ultraje.
