In the 1870s, various people began experimenting with photography, blending them together to give the illusion of a motion picture. Most of the experiments however, were unsuccessful. The first motion picture – Horse in Motion – was created in 1878. It was accomplished by using multiple cameras and assembling the individual pictures into a single motion picture. The movie was made to scientifically answer a popularly debated question during this era: Are all four of a horse’s hooves ever off the ground at the same time while the horse is galloping? And just like that, motion photography was born. The next movie was made in 1888. It was a short film directed by French inventor Louis Le Prince. The world’s earliest surviving motion-picture film, showing actual consecutive action, is called the Roundhay Garden Scene. While it’s just 2.11 seconds long, it is technically a movie. According to the Guinness Book of Records, it is the oldest surviving film in existence. The first movie with actors in it appeared in 1893. It was titled Blacksmith Scene and detailed the work of blacksmiths. William Kennedy Jackson was the film’s author. In 1895, the Lumiere brothers shot Arrival of a Train. This 50-second silent film is a single, unedited view and consists of one continuous real-time shot. There’s also an urban legend associated with this movie that says when the film was first shown, the audience was so scared by the image of a life-sized train barreling toward them that people screamed and ran to the back of the room. Coincidentally, 1895 is also known as the year cinematography was born. It was the year in which the Grand Café of Paris was opened and screened the Lumiere brothers’ cinematic works. Georgian cinema hit its start in 20th century. In 1908 Vasil Amashukeli began making the first of his Film Chronicles in Baku. This date is also marks the birth of Georgian cinema. In 1912 Vasil Amashukeli made the first full-length Georgian movie titled The Journey of Akaki Tsereteli in Racha-Lechkhumi. The screening took place at the Radium cinema in Kutaisi. The first Georgian fiction movie Kristine was made also by Vasil Amashukeli. Over the decades, technological advances brought new possibilities to the film industry. Today we can watch full-length movies of different genres. According to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), one of the most popular database in film industry, the most popular genre over the last three decades was drama. It is worth noticing that from the 1990s through the 2010s, the first three places were unchanged – drama, comedy and documentary, in that order. From year to year, the popularity of action movies declined. In 1990, action movies were the fourth most popular genre and in 2010, action films dropped to the sixth most popular genre. Based on data from Tri Media Intelligence, comedy movies are most popular in Georgia. More time is allocated to drama and comedy movies.
