Hollywood Babel: Ep. 8 - Georges Melies le Film Fantistique
<p>Meet Georges Melies, le magician du cinema. <strong> </strong>Melies was the cinema’s first true artist, a stylistic innovator who recognized the potential of the new media. While the Lumieres shot slice of life actualities, trains arriving, workers leaving factories, babies eating, and Edison staged boxing bouts, dramatic dances, and sensational kisses, Melies told fantastic stories. He took viewers to the moon, to the bottom of the ocean. He introduced silly Satans and men with inflatable heads. Audiences had never seen images like his and Melies movies remain quirky, fun, and amazing. </p>
