Leeds' star role in film history to be celebrated
A documentary celebrating Leeds' starring role in the history of film is due to get an exclusive screening in the city this weekend.
The First Film was put together by Leeds-born and educated filmmaker David Nicholas Wilkinson, who spent 33 years trying to bring the documentary to the cinema .
His aim was to prove once and for all that the world's first film was shot in Leeds by Louis Le Prince.
Mr Nicholas says: "It took me 33 years to get this film to the big screen, and for years literally hundreds of people did not believe the story.
"But Leeds, as I show in the film, was possibly the world's most innovative city in many areas in the 1800s.
"I have now proven the truth: the world’s very first film was made on 14 October 1888 by a Frenchman in Leeds."
