Georges Méliès, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and Winsor McCay's Little Nemo comic strip all got started about the same time. Together these three remarkable forces gave a new look to fairy tales. Tonight's talk, illustrated with slides, assorted film clips, and screenings of a hand-tinted Méliès gem, Palace of the Arabian Nights (1905), and Edwin S. Porter's The "Teddy" Bears (1907), examines their work and its impact on féerie cinema.-R.M. (60 min. presentation; 16mm, From PFA Collection, Museum of Modern Art)IntermissionCinderella (Aschenputtel) (Lotte Reiniger, Germany, 1922). Who would have thought Cinderella could be so young?-300 years ago last month, in the form we know it. This is Lotte Reiniger's magical version of Charles Perrault's story, one of her earliest silhouette films made singlehandedly in her Berlin apartment.-R.M. (10 mins, Silent, Danish intertitles translated live, 16mm, From Jan Wahl)Inspiration (Inspirace) (Karel Zeman, Czechoslovakia, 1949). Zeman, a superb animator whose early work has all but disappeared, has been called the heir to Méliès. Inspirace uses animated glass figurines to tell the love story of Pierrot and Columbine, starting and ending in a drop of water.-R.M. (9 mins, 16mm, From Em Gee Film Library)
