I am trying to do a project of watching films in chronological order but do not have dates on most of the films on the Lumiere disk. I know that most of them are from 1895-1897 and Paris exhibition ones are 1900, but would like to narrow it in a little better than that if possible.
Richard Able's "The Cine' Goes to Town" says that the Lumiere catalogs are reprinted in Sadoul's "Lumiere et Melies". Does anyone have this book?
These are the films on the disk. The ones with ??? are ones I am trying to identify:
1. Workers Leaving the Factory (March 19. 1895)
2. Workers Leaving the Factory (Spring or Fall 1895)
3. Workers Leaving the Factory (Summer 1895)
