A conventional documentary in style, but with a very good unaccepted argument about the origins of cinema.

Geoffrey Macnab 06 Sep 2016

The doc isn't especially cinematic but you can't help but admire the dogged passion with which Wilkinson has pursued his subject.

Peter Bradshaw 01 Jul 2015

Williamson makes a clear case that Le Prince was a prototypical film artist, and a genuine pioneer.

Martyn Conterio 29 Jun 2015

The First Film should be a worthy resource for cinema history enthusiasts and students alike.

Wendy Ide 01 Jul 2015

Despite a crippling lack of solid information and a fair amount of speculation, the documentary mounts a solid case for Le Prince, an inventor and artist, to be recognised as the true father of film.
