In 1928, George Eastman announced the development of full color home movies by his company, Eastman Kodak. This show was assembled for the 75th anniversary of this event which resulted in the first face to face meeting of the motion picture's two inventors: Thomas Edison and George Eastman.
This film was edited for George Eastman House in 2004, where it is stored and preserved. To learn more about GEH, visit them at: http://www.eastmanhouse.org/
Just to be clear, this "Kodacolor" has no relation to the use of that name for consumer color negative films that came out 50 or so years later. This is actually B&W film embossed in a special way for use with a special filter that goes over the camera and later on, the projector lens. Wikipedia explains it better than I can.
Apparently links are not allowed but go to Wikipedia and paste this in:
kodacolor (motion picture)
Include the parenthesis.

@swallin19: George Eastman did indeed invent film or at least the first practical version. Before that most photography was done on glass plates. Eastman put the emulsion on a flexible base.

The inventor of film, no, the developer of celluloid film, and the pioneer of moving pictures, not the inventor, neither man was as credited, nor gave credit to the many others working in the same field, or who came first.
Edison did not invent the light bulb, records, or film, he developed earlier ideas, making them commercial enough for sale. George Eastman, popularised home photography for the masses, he "invented" nothing, just combined existing products to get a working cheap camera.

Aucune insulte à France' ; la contribution de s à l'invention des films cinématographiques a été destinée. La réclamation d'Eastman et d'Edison était dans l'esprit pour le technique, plutôt que l'avancement d'artisitc de l'industrie.
