Georges Méliès’ Films | France, 1896-1912
At once the cinema’s first true artist and the most prolific technical innovator of the early years, Georges Méliès was a pioneer in recognising the possibilities of the medium for narrative and spectacle. He created the basic vocabulary of special effects, and built the first studio of glass-house form, the prototype of European studios of the silent era. Although a pioneer of early cinema, his films have a sense of fantasy, fun and nonsense whose exuberance is still infectious after almost a century.
