The Méliès d'Or (French pronunciation: [meljɛs dɔʁ]; English: Golden Méliès) is an accolade presented annually by the Méliès International Festivals Federation (MIFF), an international network of genre film festivals from Europe.[1] The Méliès d'Or was introduced in 1996 to honor science fiction, fantasy, and horror on film. The name of the award comes from film director Georges Méliès.[2]
Two directors have won the award twice—Álex de la Iglesia and Anders Thomas Jensen. The most awarded country is Spain with six awards, followed by Denmark and the United Kingdom with four. As of 2021, Censor is the most recent winner.[3]
