Timeline
On May 3, 2018, Google honoured Méliès with its first ever virtual reality doodle.
The Melies studio in Montreuil was destroyed in December of 1945, though French Cinematheque founder Henri Langlois was able to rescue a number of historic objects from the building.
Méliès died of cancer on 21 January 1938 at the age of 76.
The French surrealist movement in the 1920s brought about a rediscovery of Méliès' surviving films, and the acknowledgment of his contributions to the art and the industry of motion pictures. Eventually this led to his being awarded the Legion of Honor in 1931.
The Théâtre Robert-Houdin was closed in 1914 as a result of World War I. This sent him into bankruptcy.
His brother Gaston Méliès helped his older brother in his screenplays and film productions, and in 1903 he opened a sales office in New York City to market his films in the US. They published a film catalog with extensive descriptions in English. In that period, Georges would shoot two negatives of each of his films, one of which would be sent to the States. After his bankruptcy, younger brother Henri Méliès was most helpful running the family shoe factory in London.
Georges Méliès was a French illusionist and film director famous for leading many technical and narrative developments in the earliest days of cinema. Méliès was an especially prolific innovator in the use of special effects, popularizing such techniques as substitution splices, multiple exposures, time-lapse photography, dissolves, and hand-painted color. His films include A Trip to the Moon (1902) and Le voyage à travers l'impossible (1904), both involving strange, surreal journeys somewhat in the style of Jules Verne, and are considered among the most important early science fiction films.
Showed the first versions of movie trailers by projecting images above the entrance of the Théâtre Robert Houdin, Paris in 1898. This gave passers-by an idea of what was inside and on the actual screen.
Founded the Théâtre Robert-Houdin in France in 1896.
On December 28, 1895, he was a member of the first audience in the world to see the Lumiere brothers' Cinematographe.
