A train arrives at the station.

Likely in June 1897, a group of people are standing along the platform of a railway station in La Ciotat, waiting for a train. One is seen coming, at some distance, and eventually stops at the platform. Doors of the railway-cars open and attendants help passengers off and on. Popular legend has it that, when this film was shown, the first-night audience fled the café in terror, fearing being run over by the "approaching" train. This legend has since been identified as promotional embellishment, though there is evidence to suggest that people were astounded at the capabilities of the Lumières' cinématographe.

A trains arrives at Perrache station and people disembark.

This lost film presumably features a train arriving at Vincennes station, eastern Paris. (Until 2020, was confused with Arrival at Joinville flipbook.)

A train pulls into the station, and the crowd of travelers invades the dock.

As a train comes to a halt, workers begin to unload the gravel it is transporting.

One of a few versions of the "arrival of the train" narrative. While the film is lost, there is a new digital version based on re-creation from a flipbook produced by Léon Beaulieu around the same time. Shot in Joinville-le-Pont

Old film of a two-stage train arriving in France, 1897.

A remake of L'Arrivée d'un Train made with a stereoscopic film camera, exhibited along with a series of other 3D shorts by Louis Lumière at a 1934 meeting of the French Academy of Science.

What will happen if propaganda will lose its voice? And become a pure silent movie performance. Suddenly it appears to be less powerful & impactful. Theatrical essence of propaganda is clear & striking. Journalists & hosts are actors on the scene of post-Greek theater embodying tragedy on screen. "The Society of the Spectacle" needs its own Avengers & propaganda fill these needs with fine actors. Sound is something we strive to find on YouTube, in social media or TikTok. Silent videos become uncomfortable unless they aren't filled with entertainment (including guns, murders or big newsbreak slogans).

Probably filmed in 1895, a group of people stand along the platform of a railway station in La Ciotat, waiting for a train. The train pulls up and attendants help passengers off and on. This was not in the Lumière's official catalog, and was likely screened in early 1896. This film is often misidentified on Youtube as "L'Arrivée d’un train à La Ciotat", which is the title of the 1897 remake.
