List of Georges Méliès Films: Part 2, 1901-1906

Before the Wizard of Cinema astounded audiences with inventive trick effects in his films and dazzled spectators with magical moving pictures in the spectacle realm of science fiction, fantasy, and the macabre, Georges Méliès was an enthusiastic and highly entertaining stage magician. Greatly influenced by famous illusionists John Nevil Maskelyne, David Devant, and Joseph Buatier de Kolta, Méliès purchased the legendary Théâtre Robert-Houdin in 1888, where he perfected his craft. In time, it would also be at The Théâtre Robert-Houdin where Méliès would first screen his films as part of the program. Initially, Méliès was burdened with the task of having to build his own movie camera from scratch when the Lumière brothers -- Auguste and Louis -- refused to sell one of their Cinématographes to him. This was, perhaps, for the best as Méliès refined the camera's construction to meet his own needs. Although Méliès saw the potential the camera offered for providing entertainment through films, it wasn't until he was in the process of filming his short subject Place de l'Opéra (1896), that he accidentally discovered his first special effects trick with the new invention. From here on end, Méliès' imagination soared with the possibilities of merging magical theatrics, new camera tricks, and storytelling to create wondrous and fantastic movie presentations for the masses. Such love and devotion for the new art form is evident with the impressive number of movies Méliès, himself, produced, directed, edited, and acted in from 1896-1813... he even constructed and painted his own sets! Listed below are his films from 1901-1906 -- by year and alphabetical order -- from a time when Méliès was at his peak creatively and financially as a filmmaker. Not only did the pioneer of cinema deliver the most fascinating and highest of quality productions of his time, he did it with style and flare like no other.
