This version of "Arrival of a Train" was likely filmed in 1895, but it is not the 2015-restored version from 1897. https://catalogue-lumiere.com/arrivee-train-a-la-ciotat/

People have studied the age of the Lumière children from several of their Ciotat train films and this uncatalogued version was most likely screened first in 1896. youtu.be/1dgLEDdFddk

With that aside, the 4K restoration from the 2015 Blu-ray of the 1897 film is gorgeous! The Lumière brothers were masters of perspective and framing. youtu.be/1FAj9fJQRZA
