Photographie électrique à distance est un film muet de Georges Méliès sorti en 1908.

Synopsis

Dans un atelier dont le plafond est une verrière, un inventeur est entouré des dispositifs mécaniques d'une machine compliquée. Les domestiques de l'inventeur font entrer une dame et un monsieur bien habillés. L'inventeur les accueille et commence à leur montrer son invention. Mettant la machine en marche, il déroule un grand écran et place une petite image des Trois Grâces sur une chaise. Grace à la machine, les Grâces sont projetées à taille réelle sur l'écran où elles prennent brièvement vie avant de disparaître. Ensuite, l'inventeur et son équipe donnent une autre démonstration en projetant un modèle en costume grec. Comme précédemment, l'image projetée prend sa propre vie, saluant le visiteur.

At an International Congress at an Aero Club, explorers from around the world argue about the best way to fly to the North Pole. All are in disagreement until the congress's president, the engineer Maboul of France, explains his plans for an "Aero-Bus," an airplane with a passenger car and a huge figurehead in the shape of a bird head. The proceedings are interrupted by a group of militant suffragettes, who announce their intention to go to the Pole themselves. When they have been chased off, the Congress nominates an international group of experts to accompany Maboul to the Pole: Run-Ever of England, Bluff-"Allo"-Bill of America, Choukroutman of Germany, Cerveza of Spain, Tching-Tchun of China, and Ka-Ko-Ku of Japan. Maboul takes his colleagues to his office to study the model of his invention, and then to the electricity-powered factory where the real thing is being constructed. The leader of the suffragettes moves on with her own plans to get to the Pole, building a machine fitted with propellers and a multitude of toy balloons, but it fails to get off the ground.

At a meeting of the Astronomic Club, its president, Professor Barbenfouillis, proposes a trip to the Moon. After addressing some dissent, five other brave astronomers—Nostradamus, Alcofrisbas, Omega, Micromegas, and Parafaragaramus—agree to the plan. They build a space capsule in the shape of a bullet, and a huge cannon to shoot it into space. The astronomers embark and their capsule is fired from the cannon with the help of "marines", most of whom are played by a bevy of young women in sailors' outfits. The Man in the Moon watches the capsule as it approaches, and it hits him in the eye.

A chemist in his laboratory places upon a table his own head, alive; then fixing upon his head a rubber tube with a pair of bellows, he begins to blow with all his might. Immediately the head increases in size and continues to enlarge until it becomes truly colossal while making faces. The chemist, fearing to burst it, opens a cock in the tube. The head immediately contracts and resumes its original size. He then calls his assistant and informs him of his discovery. The assistant, wishing to experiment for himself, seizes the bellows and blows into the head with all his might. The head swells until it bursts with a crash, knocking over the two experimenters. The chemist then literally kicks his assistant from the lab in anger.

Un homme bien habillé dessine sur un tableau un personnage du XVII siècle, puis laisse apparaître sur sa propre tête une coiffure de cette époque. Il dessine alors un vieil homme à barbe, attribut pileux qui apparaît alors sur le bas de son visage. Ensuite, il dessine un homme avec une grande moustache : sa coupe et sa barbe disparaissent, mais pour laisser place à cette même moustache. Il écrit sur le panneau : « Comic excentric », puis son visage se transforme en celui d'un clown, en général et enfin en diable.
