Georges Méliès - Magician, visionary and the greatest storyteller of early cinema. Between 1896 and 1913 he directed more than 500 films. By chance, the son of a shoe manufacturer came across the opportunity to produce special effects and showed where the journey of the new medium of cinema should lead with what is probably his best-known work "Journey to the Moon". With his five-time Oscar-winning "Hugo Cabret", Martin Scorsese set a worthy monument to the cinema visionary.
