IMDb title #0000017: 'Italienischer Bauerntanz' (1895, Max Skladanowsky)

A part of the first ever series of films screened to paying audiences in Europe, Skladanowsky's 'Italian Folk Dance' is a rather simple, unambitious entry of film history. The film was screened by the 'Magic Lantern' projector, and depicts two Italian children performing a folk dance.

If Germany put forth a contender as to who invented the first motion picture camera, they would nominate Max Skladanowsky, the 'German Lumière'.
