Ten years ago, Arjun Singh and Tara Kapoor were inseparable-two young souls lost in love, dreaming of a future together. Their days were filled with laughter, stolen moments, and whispered promises of forever. But forever never came. Now, a decade later, Arjun finds himself in the dead of night, at an almost desolate five-star hotel room, a far cry from the life he once imagined. He is no longer the boy who believed in love-he is a man hardened by crime, preparing for the biggest drug deal of his life, one that could set him free. As the clock strikes 3:33 AM, shadows of the past begin to creep in. He sees glimpses of Tara-her laughter, her touch, her presence-as if time itself is mocking him.

In one of those wonderful coincidences of history, lumière, the French word for “light,” was also the last name of brothers Auguste and Louis, whose brilliant invention, the cinematograph, helped to inaugurate the most beloved art form of the last 130 years. Institute Lumière director Thierry Frémaux uses Lumière, Le Cinema! to guide the viewer through over a hundred shorts—some famous, some forgotten, some never before seen—directed by Lumière and company. In the process, Frémaux illuminates how the brothers employed the camera as a creative instrument as they (and their operators) mastered framing, staging, and subject selection for quotidian and exotic microdocumentaries as well as the first ever fictional motion pictures. The result is not only a glorious re(telling) of the genesis of cinema but a profound meditation on the beautiful world captured—and the mysterious world imagined—by the Lumières.
