First feature film in Buenos Aires

Scenes from the argentine film "God bless"On July 18, 1896 performing the first film role in the country. It was at the Odeon Theatre.
Just seven months had elapsed since December 28, 1895 when the Lumiere brothers showed the first film exhibition considered the date of birth of cinema in the world.
The movies showed in Buenos Aires were the same filmed and released them by the Lumiere brothers, who were documentaries about daily life: the breakfast of babies, the output of factory workers, the arrival of the train station.
This last scene caused panic among the spectators as it seemed that the train would eventually leave the screen.
A man who was at the high floor was thrown high over the audience because of the impression, and fortunately only suffered some blows.
