奥古斯特·卢米埃尔身穿长袖衬衣，正在指挥工人拆除一堵危墙。画面上清晰的出现了一个身穿绒裤的泥瓦匠，和一段残垣断壁最终坍塌时溅起的尘雾。

A gardener is watering his flowers, when a mischievous boy sneaks up behind his back, and puts a foot on the water hose. The gardener is surprised and looks into the nozzle to find out why the water has stopped coming. The boy then lifts his foot from the hose, whereby the water squirts up in the gardener's face. The gardener chases the boy, grips his ear and slaps him in his buttocks. The boy then runs away and the gardener continues his watering. Three separate versions of this film exist, this is the original, filmed by Louis Lumière.

摄于1895年6月，卢米埃尔把其参加的照相会议记录了下来，当放映时，卢米埃尔让参与讨论的人到银幕后面去把发言重复了一遍，增加了影片真实感。这可以说是史上第一部新闻纪录片，也是对有声电影的一次有趣尝试。

Three men are sitting around a table, two of them playing a game of Écarté. When the game is over, a domestic serves drinks.

1895 film directed by Louis Lumière

A group of people are standing along the platform of a railway station in La Ciotat, waiting for a train. One is seen coming, at some distance, and eventually stops at the platform. Doors of the railway-cars open and attendants help passengers off and on. Popular legend has it that, when this film was shown, the first-night audience fled the café in terror, fearing being run over by the "approaching" train. This legend has since been identified as promotional embellishment, though there is evidence to suggest that people were astounded at the capabilities of the Lumières' cinématographe.
