The First Colour Moving Pictures

13.09.2012

Colour moving pictures dating from 1902 have been found by the National Media Museum in Bradford, England. The previous earliest colour film dated from circa 1909. The discovered films were shot in Brighton by pioneer Edward Raymond Turner who patented his colour process on 22 March 1899. A few years before the pivotal Brighton School this city was already a place of formal experimentation and research. You can see the movies here.
