one idea for a new device had taken shape in his mind: a projector equipped with a mechanism to feed perforated film containing images. Shortly after obtaining the patent, the Lumières brothers brought this invention to life by creating a combined cinematograph.

This commercial performance marked the actual beginning of the world of cinema.
