"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 ‘An Impossible Voyage’ (1904), both involving strange, surreal journeys, and are considered among the most important early science fiction films."
