On August 11, 1926, the Kodak Company began work on the creation of color film.First attempts to make
the picture in color cinema was undertaken immediatelyafter the invention of cinematography. It is known that even Thomas Edison in 1895 used hand-coloring of film with aniline dyes. Of course, this technology was very labor-intensive, but such films were popular with viewers, of course, since there were only black and white films around. In 1908, three-color cinema became popular, when a film was shot on three different films through three different light filters. And only 9 years after the start of work on creating full-color film, Kodak introduced Eastmancolor reversible film in 1935, which was intended for amateur 16 mm cameras. A year later, 8 and 35 mm varieties appeared under the name Kodachrome. In terms of color rendering quality, these multilayer films, unfortunately, were inferior to the three-film technology that was used until the mid-50s, although it was complex and expensive. After this time, cinema began to compete with television, which took away the audience from cinemas, and this event significantly influenced the spread of color cinema.
