False Future
   
 
 

False Future, 2007 takes up the story of Louis Le Prince (1842–1890), the 
little-known inventor who succeeded in developing a working motion picture 
system at least five years before the Lumière Brothers. Had Le Prince not 
mysteriously disappeared while traveling from Dijon to Paris by train in 1890 
he would most likely be known today as the originator of cinema. False Future 
speculates on this false-start in the history of filmmaking, focusing on the drives 
and desires that lie behind the invention and reception of moving images.
