- Venezuela was introduced to cinema as a for-profit industry in the 1890s, when the medium became international. There were at least eight national films made in the decade, by three groups of filmmakers — one of the groups was based in Maracaibo and one was based in Caracas. The first film screening in the nation may have taken place as early as 1894, but is generally reported as 1896, with this later date being the first scheduled public screening. (en)

- It can [...] be observed that, contrary to what happens in France, for example, the Venezuelan press welcomes the new invention, practically ignoring the limitations of the silent and black and white image that annoy so many European intellectuals and artists. In fact, the chroniclers of the Venezuelan cities where the cinematographer arrived not only enthusiastically comment on foreign films and national attempts, but programs are often published quite prominently.

- When cinema arrives in Caracas, the press qualifies it as a technological marvel as well as a progressive advance; however, among the range of preexisting amusements, movies occupy one of the lowest seats. It's surprising, to say the least, to find press releases that praise the scientific qualities of the new spectacle and simultaneously consider it a very low quality event, almost a childish distraction.
