Cinema wouldn't be the same without the ingenuity and imagination of George Melies, the pioneer of special effects.

His revolutionary works of adventure and sci-fi fantasy films produced at the emergence of the 1900's silent film era, astonished audiences then and still captivates imaginations today.
