In this film, we show the interior of a doctor's office. A patient enters, and judging from the expression on his face, he is in great pain.

Movie

Conjuring (1896) WikiData IMDb TMDB
Séance de prestidigitation
director: Georges Méliès actor: Georges Méliès
other title: Séance de prestidigitation / Prestidigitación …
The film reproduces a magic act Méliès performed at his Paris theater-of-illusions, the Théâtre Robert-Houdin. Conjuring is notable as Méliès's second film, and as his first to move beyond the actuality film genre pioneered by the Lumière brothers and experiment with using the camera to capture a theatrical magic act. (Later in 1896, with his discovery of the substitution splice technique, Méliès was able to begin augmenting his theatrical illusions with new special effects unique to film.) Conjuring can thus be seen as Méliès's first foray into the world of fiction film. The film was released by Méliès's Star Film Company and numbered 2 in its catalogues.

Georges Méliès: Cinema Magician (1978) IMDb Douban
Georges Méliès: Cinema Magician
director: Luciano Martinengo / Patrick Montgomery actor: 乔治·梅里爱
other title: 乔治·梅里爱：电影魔术师
Georges Méliès (1861-1938), cinema pioneer. A first-person narration traces Méliès' early interests in drawing and magic shows. He builds a studio and constructs his own camera-projector, recruits dancers from the opera and actors from the cinema to make a variety of films that tell whole stories: histories, dramas, documentaries, and ads. He moves from farce into sophisticated comedies, developing cinematic tricks (dissolves, split screens, and double exposure) to create artificially-arranged scenes. Then, the cinema passes him by, and he lives the last years of his life in poverty, selling toys out of a shop near the Montparnasse train station, with Jeanne d'Alcy his star.
