Georges Méliès filmography

Georges Méliès (1861–1938) was a French filmmaker and magician generally regarded as the first person to recognize the potential of narrative film.

[3] His works are often considered as important precursors to modern narrative cinema, though some recent scholars have argued that Méliès's films are better understood as spectacular theatrical creations rooted in the 19th-century féerie tradition.

[5] Having studied the principles on which Paul's projector ran, Méliès was able to modify the machine so that it could be used as a makeshift camera.

[9] Thanks to the efforts of film history devotées, especially René Clair, Jean George Auriol, and Paul Gilson, Méliès and his work were rediscovered in the late 1920s, and he was awarded the Legion of Honor in 1931.

Following the revival of interest in Méliès and his work in the late 1920s, he took part in several film projects: The following films are listed without cited sources in the 1974 filmography by Paul Hammond[14] and its revision by John Frazer,[15] but not in the more complete 2008 filmography by Jacques Malthête.
