Wanna be there...

Oh to live during the turn of the century... everything was so bright and new. Science must have seemed limitless, even magical. I can only imagine the first viewing of a motion picture or streetlights or the first ride on a ferris wheel. Though the subject matter of early films may seem trivial to us in the 21st century, it was awe-inspiring to people at the time.


As an avid film-goer and lover of all movies (even the silent ones) I am always interested in seeing important cinema on the big screen. The International House of Philadelphia shares my passion and is presenting a series called "Motion Pictures" about the history of cinema. They will be offering monthly screenings of historically significant films starting tonight when they show the films of The Lumiere Brothers, two of the first filmmakers in history.
