'''Arrival of a Train at Vincennes Station''' (''Arrivée d'un train gare de Vincennes) Is a lost 1896 French silent film directed by Georges ''Méliès'' . It is currently presumed lost, although '''Bernhard Richter''', an animator, and '''Sara Richter''', Bernhard's daughter, suggested in 2013 that a flipbook published around the turn of the century by '''''Léon Beaulieu''' ''may be a surviving print of the film.''
 
 
The suggested identification is based on the type of train depicted in the flipbook, though no actual evidence has been made to prove this. A UCLA archivist '''Jan-Christopher Horak''' has said that, while the flipbook may as well be a Méliès print, it might also be a Lumière Brothers film. A preservationist '''Serge Bromberg''' also poised that the film might not be a Méliès print, but might be another by other earlier film-makers. Georges's great, great granddaughter posted in an online statement that the flipbook might possibly derive from Méliès, but based on the inscriptions on the train, may as well be a later Méliès film.
 
 
The Richters hope to gather more evidence by crowdfunding the project for research. Right now, no other information is known about this film.
