George Albert Smith (1864-1959) was part of the Brighton School of cinematography and was one of the most influential figures in Victorian cinema. Before becoming a filmmaker, Smith was an established showman and would often perform as a magic lanternist, hypnotist and psychic. Smith was the proprietor of St Ann's Well Garden in Hove and invented Kinemacolor. Kinemacolor was the first commercially viable colour film process.
