This work shines a new light upon a key period of modern history, the
late 19th century. It was an era that saw both the development of
photography and, most intriguingly, the dawn of “modern cinema,” thanks
to a most unusual man: Jean Méliès. The brilliant creator of “A Trip to
the Moon” not only revolutionized the art of screenwriting, but also
introduced the first-ever special effects. A former stage magician, he
launched his film career at the same time as the Lumière brothers (their
relationship with Méliès was difficult), and turned himself into a
producer, director, screenwriter, set designer and actor! But Méliès
was ahead of his time.
