Georges Méliès: Le premier magicien du cinéma (1896-1913)

Georges Méliès (1861-1938), cinema pioneer. A first-person narration traces Méliès' early interests in drawing and magic shows. He builds a studio and constructs his own camera-projector, recruits dancers from the opera and actors from the cinema to make a variety of films that tell whole stories: histories, dramas, documentaries, and ads. He moves from farce into sophisticated comedies, developing cinematic tricks (dissolves, split screens, and double exposure) to create artificially-arranged scenes. Then, the cinema passes him by, and he lives the last years of his life in poverty, selling toys out of a shop near the Montparnasse train station, with Jeanne d'Alcy his star.

Georges Méliès est en quelque sorte l'inventeur des effets spéciaux. Né Marie Georges Jean Méliés le 8 décembre 1861 et mort le 21 Janvier 1938, il fut un des premiers, en France, à s'intéresser au cinéma. Magicien, il apporta sa touche en trafiquant l'image et créant les tous premiers effets visuels. Dans son studio de Montreuil, les décors sont peints, les actualités recrées, les pellicules coloriées, et son cinéma est marqué par sa proximité avec le théâtre filmé.

Méliès era un illusionista e proprietario del Théatre Robert- Hudin. Dopo aver visto il cinematografo dei Lumière decise di arricchire il suo programma con dei films. Sperimentò innumerevoli tecniche di montaggio ed effetti speciali e realizzò i primi films di fantascenza e fantastici. Uno dei suoi films più famosi è Le Voyage dans la Lune, 1902, film comico di fantascienza su un gruppo di scienziati a bordo di una navetta spaziale in orbita per la luna, che scappano dopo essere stati fatti prigioniere da una strana razza di creature sotterranee. Questa è una raccolta di circa 200 opere (films e cortometraggi) edita in 5 DVD.
