Saturday Matinee: Georges Méliès: Fairy Tales in Color

The inexhaustibly imaginative magician of early cinema, Georges Méliès created some of the medium’s very first fantasies through his revolutionary use of trick photography, special effects, and exquisite hand-painted color. Beautifully restored by Lobster Films, these whimsical wonders—including science-fiction landmark A Trip to the Moon , gorgeous dreamscape The Kingdom of Fairies , and the Jules Verne-inspired The Impossible Voyage —continue to delight and enchant more than one hundred years after their creation.
