Likely in June 1897, a group of people are standing along the platform of a railway station in La Ciotat, waiting for a train. One is seen coming, at some distance, and eventually stops at the platform. Doors of the railway-cars open and attendants help passengers off and on. Popular legend has it that, when this film was shown, the first-night audience fled the café in terror, fearing being run over by the "approaching" train. This legend has since been identified as promotional embellishment, though there is evidence to suggest that people were astounded at the capabilities of the Lumières' cinématographe. close

Rare viewers pay attention to how the costumes look in the film. Nevertheless, the film costume industry is one of the most complex, painstaking and sometimes expensive areas of film production. The best costumes are awarded prizes, collectors chase for some outfits, and unique dresses become real exhibits of historical museums. Although the importance of the artist’s work on costumes is comparable to the work of directors and operators, they often remain in the shadows. Fashion historian Alexander Vasiliev leads the viewer through the halls of the grandiose exhibition project of the Gorky Film Studio “Time and Things”, where an exceptional collection of rarities is collected from the dresses of the late XVII century to the fracas of the early XX century. Acquaints with iconic personalities of the industry, pioneers and guardians of technologies, explains the subtleties of working with the fact, color, material and preservation of originals.

Working men and women leave through the main gate of the Lumière factory in Lyon, France. Filmed on 22 March 1895, it is often referred to as the first real motion picture ever made, although Louis Le Prince's 1888 Roundhay Garden Scene pre-dated it by seven years. Three separate versions of this film exist, which differ from one another in numerous ways. The first version features a carriage drawn by one horse, while in the second version the carriage is drawn by two horses, and there is no carriage at all in the third version. The clothing style is also different between the three versions, demonstrating the different seasons in which each was filmed. This film was made in the 35 mm format with an aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and at a speed of 16 frames per second. At that rate, the 17 meters of film length provided a duration of 46 seconds, holding a total of 800 frames. close
