La lanterne magique
The Magic Lantern
Georges Méliès 1903 France
Two magicians look through a magic lantern, and the subjects come to laugh and perform a dance.
Starts off with two men on one side of the frame, and then an image is projected onto the other side of the frame - we assume it to be the image the two are looking at. Fun and games begin thereafter and gain and lose momentum depending on taste and mood... but the "visual dilemma" constructed in the opening is wonderful.
