Description
Join us as we view two short films which take us to the moon, in the wild imagination of two film makers. French film maker Georg Melies’ classic 1902 silent film Le Voyage Dans La Lune is widely regarded as not just a masterpiece by a pioneer of cinema but the first true “feature film,” a movie that changed what people thought possible in this new medium. Then we’ll join the UK cartoon duo Wallace and Gromit as they travel to the moon for…cheese! Discussion will follow as a set up for our moon viewing party later tonight.
