George Melies
On the pages of encyclopedias devoted to the history of cinema, you can always see the name of Georges Melies - magician, an actor and director, inventor and pioneer. He create the genres of film fantasy and horror; he filmed documentaries and fairy tales, surreal extravaganza and adventure tapes that have not lost their charm to this day.
In particular, he is the author of the famous miniature in its time, in which in one frame the person had a head, and in the other - was absent. There was a feeling that a person's head was cut off literally in front of the viewer. This produced a shocking impression, and contemporaries nicknamed Melies, who was also keen on, among other things, various kinds of occultism and mystification, Mephistophelies, combining the name of the director and the name of the famous mythological character.
Widespread recognition came to Melies in 1928. His contribution to the cinema was finally appreciated:
Charlie Chaplin called him "alchemist of light'',
DG Griffith said: "I owe everything to him."
In 1931, Melies received the Order of the Legion of Honor.
The director finished his days at the boarding house for aged actors, hoping to return to his work again until the end of his life.
If the Lumières started the realistic direction in the cinema, using their invention only for documentary scenes from life, Melies introduced fiction, fantasy and imagination to the cinema.
