Brighton as part of the film industry
Brighton played a part in the early development of filmmaking and cinematography as a home and work-place of William Friese-Greene, an early pioneer of the art (credited by some with its invention).
In the 1890s, early filmmaker
George Albert Smith lived and built a studio in neighbouring Hove, now a part of the city of Brighton and Hove
.
Brighton's Duke of York's Picturehouse has been in operation since 22 September 1910, making it the oldest purpose built and continually operating cinema in Britain.
