Which director, Jacques Demy or Jack Clayton, appeared in the wake of the French New Wave alongside contemporaries like Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut?
Jack Clayton Jack Clayton (1 March 1921 – 26 February 1995) was a British film director and producer, who specialised in bringing literary works to the screen.
Georges Méliès Marie-Georges-Jean Méliès, known as Georges Méliès ( ; ] ; 8 December 1861 – 21 January 1938), was a French illusionist and film director who led many technical and narrative developments in the earliest days of cinema. Méliès was an especially prolific innovator in the use of special effects, popularizing such techniques as substitution splices, multiple exposures, time-lapse photography, dissolves, and hand-painted color. He was also one of the first filmmakers to use storyboards. His films include "A Trip to the Moon" (1902) and "The Impossible Voyage" (1904), both involving strange, surreal journeys somewhat in the style of Jules Verne, and are considered among the most important early science fiction films, though their approach is closer to fantasy.
