Conjure up a vision, master light and images to reproduce pure emotion and create a dream.

A century of trials and error, experimentation drama, deception, disasters, plagiarism and triumphs gave birth to the most sophisticated art of illusion.... the Cinema.

In unusual and eerie surroundings discover the Phantasmagoria of E.G. Robertson and his magic lantern, the dreams of Joseph Plateau, the man who defied sunlight, Emile Reynaud's Praxinoscope and optical theatre, the experiments of Etienne Jules Marcy and Eadwaerd Muybridge on the analysis of movement, the Thomas A. Edison's Kinetoscope, and list but not least, the lumiere Brothers' Cinema.

And outstanding documentary about the inventions before the cinematographe.
