Question: The cinema of Thailand dates back to which era when motion picture cameras were invented and film production companies started to be established?

<P0-S0> Filmmaking in Colonial Nigeria generally refers to an era in Nigerian cinema, usually spanning the 1900s through to the 1950s, when film production and exhibition or distribution were controlled by the British colonial Government. <P0-S1>  The history of cinema in Nigeria dates back to as early as the history of film itself; notably in the late 19th century, with the use of peephole viewing of motion picture devices. <P0-S2>  These were soon replaced in the early 20th century with improved motion picture exhibition devices, with the first set of films screened at the Glover Memorial Hall in Lagos from 12 to 22 August 1903. <SEP> <P1-S0> Steadicam is a brand of camera stabilizer mounts for motion picture cameras invented by Garrett Brown and introduced in 1975 by Cinema Products Corporation. <P1-S1>  It mechanically isolates the operator's movement, allowing for a smooth shot, even when the camera moves over an irregular surface. <SEP> <P2-S0>  The film was then brought to Bangkok, where it was exhibited. <P2-S1>  This sparked more interest in film by the Thai Royal Family and local businessmen, who brought in filmmaking equipment and started to exhibit foreign films. <P2-S2>  By the 1920s, a local film industry was started and in the 1930s, the Thai film industry had its first "golden age", with a number of studios producing films. <P2-S3> The cinema of Thailand dates back to the early days of filmmaking, when King Chulalongkorn's 1897 visit to Bern, Switzerland was recorded by Francois-Henri Lavancy-Clarke. <SEP> <P3-S0>  Because of the limits of technology, films of the 1890s were under a minute long and until 1927 motion pictures were produced without sound. <P3-S1>  The first decade of motion picture saw film moving from a novelty to an established mass entertainment industry. <P3-S2>  The films became several minutes long consisting of several shots. <P3-S3>  The first rotating camera for taking panning shots was built in 1898. <P3-S4>  The first film studios were built in 1897. <P3-S5>  Special effects were introduced and film continuity, involving action moving from one sequence into another, began to be used. <P3-S6>  In the 1900s, continuity of action across successive shots was achieved and the first close-up shot was introduced (that some claim D. W. Griffith invented). <P3-S7>  Most films of this period were what came to be called "chase films". <P3-S8>  The first use of animation in movies was in 1899. <P3-S9>  The first feature length multi-reel film was a 1906 Australian production. <P3-S10>  The first successful permanent theatre showing only films was "The Nickelodeon" in Pittsburgh in 1905. <P3-S11> The history of film began in the 1890s, when motion picture cameras were invented and film production companies started to be established. <P3-S12>  By 1910, actors began to receive screen credit for their roles and the way to the creation of film stars was opened. <P3-S13>  Regular newsreels were exhibited from 1910 and soon became a popular way for finding out the news. <P3-S14>  From about 1910, American films had the largest share of the market in Australia and in all European countries except France.
