Shorts Program: The Magic Cinema of George Méliès
Georges Méliès (1861–1938) was early cinema’s greatest artistic innovator, inventing and implementing ingenious special effects that could send viewers to the depths of outer space or the bottom of the sea. A magician as well as a filmmaker, Méliès’s greatest stage was the cinema screen itself. This program features some of Méliès’s best tricks, films, and fantasies, all beautifully restored by Lobster Films.
This film is presented at The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
