William Friese-Greene (born William Edward Green, 7 September 1855 – 5 May 1921) was an English portrait photographer and prolific inventor.
 He is principally known as a pioneer in the field of motion pictures, though not the inventor of cinematography; his work post-dates that of Louis Le Prince, who successfully shot the world's first moving pictures in Leeds in 1888.
The First Film is a 2015 British documentary film about cinema pioneer Louis Le Prince, made by David Nicholas Wilkinson.
 It asserts that Le Prince, rather than the Lumiere brothers, was the true inventor of moving pictures, making his first film in Leeds in 1888 before his mysterious disappearance in 1890.
George Eastman (July 12, 1854 – March 14, 1932) was an American entrepreneur who founded the Eastman Kodak Company and popularized the use of roll film, helping to bring photography to the mainstream.
 Roll film was also the basis for the invention of motion picture film in 1888 by the world's first film-makers Eadweard Muybridge and Louis Le Prince, and a few years later by their followers Léon Bouly, William Dickson, Thomas Edison, the Lumière Brothers, and Georges Méliès.
Roundhay Garden Scene is an 1888 short silent actuality film recorded by French inventor Louis Le Prince.
 Shot at Oakwood Grange in Roundhay, Leeds in the north of England, it is believed to be the oldest surviving film in existence, as noted by the "Guinness Book of Records".
Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince (] ; 28 August 1841 – vanished 16 September 1890) was a French inventor who shot the first moving pictures on paper film using a single lens camera.
 He has been heralded as the "Father of Cinematography" since 1930.
Jean-Baptiste Le Prince (September 17, 1734 – September 30, 1781) was an important French etcher and painter.
 Le Prince first studied painting techniques in his native Metz.
 He then travelled to Paris around 1750 and became a leading student of the great painter, François Boucher (1703–1770).
 Le Prince's early paintings in both theme and style are comparable to his master's rococo techniques.
Workers Leaving The Lumière Factory in Lyon (French: "La Sortie de l'Usine Lumière à Lyon" ), also known as Employees Leaving the Lumière Factory and Exiting the Factory, is an 1895 French short black-and-white silent documentary film directed and produced by Louis Lumière.
 It is often referred to as the first real motion picture ever made, although Louis Le Prince's 1888 "Roundhay Garden Scene" pre-dated it by seven years.
Louis, Duke of Orléans (4 August 1703 – 4 February 1752) was a member of the royal family of France, the House of Bourbon, and as such was a "prince du sang".
 At his father's death, he became the First Prince of the Blood ("Premier Prince du Sang").
 Known as "Louis le Pieux" and also as "Louis le Génovéfain", Louis was a pious, charitable and cultured prince, who took very little part in the politics of the time.
William Kennedy-Laurie Dickson (3 August 1860 – 28 September 1935) was a Scottish inventor who devised an early motion picture camera under the employment of Thomas Edison (post-dating the work of Louis Le Prince).
John Eliot Sturges ( ; January 3, 1910 – August 18, 1992) was an American film director.
 His movies include "Bad Day at Black Rock" (1955), "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral" (1957), "The Magnificent Seven" (1960), "The Great Escape" (1963), and "Ice Station Zebra" (1968).
 In 2013, "The Magnificent Seven" was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
 He was not related to director Preston Sturges.
