Lumière et compagnie is the title of an international film project from 1995 . On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the invention of the cinématograph by the Lumière brothers , 41 directors made short films that they made with the original camera from the 19th century . The idea for this homage came from Philippe Poulet, a researcher at the Lyon Cinema Museum .

The films could not be longer than 52 seconds. In addition, they had to be realized without cuts, without artificial light and without re-synchronized sound.
