Georges Méliès is a French director, actor and one of the founders of world cinema.
Marie-Georges-Jean Méliès was born in 1861 in Paris in the family of an industrialist. The boy had the opportunity to spend time with his hobbies, among which were theater and the art of stage illusion.
In 1895, Méliès visited one of the first film screenings of the Lumière brothers, which impressed him very much. Georges then purchased a similar English-made camera and began experimenting. He created the first special effect using a stop frame.
In 1897, Méliès opened his own Star Film studio and began making his own short films and pseudo-chronicles. Among the famous works of that time can be noted “The Dreyfus Affair”, “The Coronation of Edward VII” and some other works.
Between 1896 and 1913, Georges Méliès directed more than 500 films ranging in length from 1 to 40 minutes. One of the most famous was the comedy. "Journey to the Moon" 1902, which became the first science fiction film.
Méliès wanted to enter the US market, but failed to do so. The fact is that all the rights to the shows belonged to Edison. He just took copies of Méliès' films and showed them to the United States. When Georges found out, he burned most of his negatives in the studio. No one knows how many movies they have made.
In 1914, Méliès sold his studio due to the fact that he received almost nothing from showing films in America, and his business became unprofitable. Then he began to work for the company Pate. Soon, many forgot about his achievements in cinema and remembered only in 1932. Méliès died in 1938.
Biography of Méliès formed the basis of the film 2011 The Timekeeper. It was played brilliantly by Ben Kingsley. For his merits, the French director was awarded the Order of the Legion of Honor.

The famous French film director, producer, screenwriter, actor, cameraman Claude Lelouch was born on October 30, 1937 in Paris. His career began at the age of 8, when his father handed him a camera. The boy carried it with him everywhere, sometimes irritating his teachers and friends because they unwittingly acted as heroes in his paintings. Claude loved watching people transform. So, his teacher, who looked like a scary old maid with faded eyes, on the film turned out quite different, sad and touching.
The boy’s professional growth was handled by his father’s friend. He was an operator and often gave very good advice. As a result, Claude edited the film at the age of 14 and sent it to the Cannes Festival. And luck smiled at him: he won the prize for best film debut. At the age of 16, he worked in television, doing documentaries and commercials.
His first full-length picture “The Human Essence”, published in 1961, did not particularly interest viewers. In 1966, Claude Lelouch made the film “Man and Woman”, which brought him fame not only in his native country, but also far beyond its borders. A series of paintings followed: "Edith and Marseille" . "Lumiere and Company" . "The courage to love" .
In his films, he was a director, screenwriter, cameraman, and producer. This was not due to vanity, but to his irrepressible interest in everything that surrounds him.
In 2003, he made an autobiographical film, “The Flavor of Destiny”, where he told about his life and the people who surrounded him. And he considered himself a pamper because he was lucky to meet interesting personalities.
His personal life was not very successful. While making the film "Live to Live," he fell in love with Ani Girardot. The girl was married, but he was unsuccessful (husband abused alcohol), so she accepted the courtship of the new gentleman, but after the filming was completed, she did not want to continue the meeting.
