Supplément Voyage à travers l'impossible (Sold in the US as Supplementary Section of the "Impossible Voyage") is a 1904 film directed by Georges Méliès. The film is an epilogue to his film The Impossible Voyage.
Plot[edit]
The epilogue begins in Crazyloff's study, where he is criticized by the Institute of Incoherent Geography for losing so much transportation equipment during the voyage. At the top of the Institute's tower, he presents his plan for recovering the equipment: a powerful magnet able to attract the automobile lost in Switzerland, the train that was eaten by the Sun, and the submarine destroyed at sea. The plan is a success and is celebrated at a banquet where Crazyloff is applauded by his scientific colleagues.
Survival[edit]
The epilogue was believed lost until the 1970s when the Méliès scholar John Frazer discovered and examined it in the archives of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences among surviving negatives from Star Film's New York offices.[1] However, a 2008 Méliès filmography by Jacques Malthête lists the supplement as lost.[2]
