From films first innovators, people like the Lumiere brothers, whose short film of a train arriving was reported to have terrified audiences in 19th century Paris, through iconoclasts like Sergei Eisenstein andLuis Buuel, to titans of 20th century cinema like Alfred Hitchcock and Jean-Luc Godard,discover the stories behind the films which incontrovertably changed the course of cinema forever.
