Méliès, Father and Son

Georges Franju / France / 1976 / Czech Premiere / 6 min.


synopsis

In 1978, the son of the pioneering film director André Méliès tells the story of his famous father's life and career from the Chateau d'Orly, where the first great filmmaker spent his last years. It is a short television report, which is undoubtedly valuable above all for the authenticity of the testimony of a person who was one of the closest to Georges Méliès.
