Committee Description

Just two years ago, the Lumière brothers held the first-ever public movie screening in a theater. It was a 50-second clip of a train pulling into a station… and it caused mass panic among moviegoers, who thought the train was going to come off the screen and hit them! After a successful world tour, showcasing their “movies” to the globe, the Lumière brothers have settled in Alexandria to build the world’s first movie industry. There will certainly be growing pains—from people’s fears that characters will leap off the screen, to improving the rudimentary technology behind the Lumière’s cinematographic equipment. And then there’s the challenge of deciding what type of films to create and what will resonate with audiences. The lights are on, the film is running, and now it’s time for the action to unfold!
