The First Film

On October 14th 1888, Frenchman Louis Le Prince produced the world's first films in Leeds, England. On 16th September 1890, just weeks before he was due to sail to the USA to launch his invention, Le Prince stepped onto the Dijon to Paris train and was never seen again. As his body was never found Le Prince was never added to history books. This case became the greatest mystery in cinema history.
