Georges Méliès

1861-1938 FR, Paris

A.k.a. Marie-Georges-Jean Méliès

Marie-Georges-Jean Méliès, known as Georges Méliès (/meɪˈljɛs/; [meljɛs] ; 8 December 1861 – 21 January 1938), was a French illusionist and filmmaker famous for leading many technical and narrative developments in the earliest days of cinema. Méliès was an especially prolific innovator in the use of special effects, popularizing such techniques as substitution splices, multiple exposures, time-lapse photography, dissolves, and hand-painted color. His films include A Trip to the Moon (1902) and The Impossible Voyage (1904), both involving strange, surreal journeys somewhat in the style of Jules Verne, and are considered among the most important early science fiction films, though their approach is closer to fantasy.
