The Time Machine
Science fiction pushes the boundaries, explores the improbable, and envisions the future of humanity. It also exposes us to extravagant visual effects and the inventive power of cinema, reflecting our deepest fantasies. In cinema, science fiction is immersive, creating worlds suddenly within our reach. This summer, over one hundred films from the history of cinema will allow us to witness this!
Winner of the Academy Award for Best Special Effects in 1961
At the turn of the 20th century, a scientist named George creates a time machine and uses it to travel infinitely far into the future. The human race is divided into two species, one of which lives underground. When his machine is stolen, George must risk his life to return to his own era.
George Pal
George Pal was a Hungarian director, producer, and screenwriter who became a naturalized American citizen in 1940. He primarily worked in the genres of fantasy and science fiction. A specialist in stop-motion animation, he created the Pal-Doll in Germany, known as Puppetoons in the United States. These puppets had interchangeable parts that allowed for different phases of animation to be swapped in and out. These techniques were notably reused towards the end of the 20th century by Guionne Leroy. He received five Academy Awards in his career. With seven nominations, he is the second-most nominated Hungarian exile at the Academy Awards, after composer Miklós Rózsa.
