Stern des Méliès is dedicated to Georges Méliès, the film- making pioneer. Dore O. produces visual poetic creations that capture the audience’s imagination. The dreamlike quality that characterises many of her films allows the audience to immerse themselves in other worlds. The images that emerge seem real; as Dore O. herself puts it, »[t]he reality of the film […] is the imagination of the viewer.« The music was written by Helge Schneider.
