3. 1902- George Méliès
A well renowned and innovative film: ‘Le Voyage Dans La Lune’ translated into ‘A trip to the moon’ is still praised for its pioneering special effects within the first science fiction film. Originally a magician, filmmaker Méliès based the film upon two popular novels at the time: Earth to the moon by Jules Verne and The First Men in the Moon by H.G. Wells. ‘Le Voyage Dans La Lune’ is said not only to be the first science fiction film but to also be a film of mockery towards those who believed that there is no life on the moon. Méliès film is considered a prominent aspect of the German expressionist movement and has continued to inspire surrealist filmmakers to this day.
