The beginnings of film history involved many inventors experimenting with technology to capture and display motion. Early devices like the zoetrope and flip books showed how the persistence of vision allows separate images to be perceived as continuous movement. Advances in photography by inventors like Daguerre, Muybridge and Marey allowed the capture of sequences of images. The development of flexible celluloid film by Eastman enabled its use in cameras and projectors. Edison and his team's work culminated in the first motion picture films and the Kinetoscope in 1889. The Lumiere brothers then invented the Cinematographe, which could both film and project movies, leading to the first commercial screenings in 1895
