1895

A celebration of cinematic innovation and playful irreverence, "1895" is a quirky animated tribute to the life and legacy of brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière, pioneers of motion pictures who immortalized their names as inventors of cinematography. This Estonian film, directed by Priit Pärn and Janno Põldma, delves into new facts and events about its subjects while also poking fun at cinema's impact on our perceptions of history and identity. With its surrealism and nods to cinematic references, "1895" is a charming and offbeat tribute to the Lumière brothers' groundbreaking work.
