Le Voyage Dans La Lune

(A Trip To The Moon)

Georges Méliès 1902 12mins

This famous film is considered to be the first science-fiction film in cinematic history. A group of astronomers in constellation-covered robes decide to construct a rocket and travel to the Moon. They land in the poor man-in’the-moon’s eye, and set off to explore the Moon's surface. They encounter strange moon inhabitants called Selenites, and return to Earth, bringing one back home in their rocket. Originally silent - before the ‘talkies’ were invented - screenings of the original film would have been accompanied by a live musician on piano, who would add drama and emotion to the story. This version’s soundtrack is by David Short & the Billi Brass Quintet

Commissioned by MAPBM specially for Lumière, with generous support from Blue Mountains City of the Arts Trust, and screened at Mount Vic Flicks courtesy of Bendigo Bank, the films explore themes of light; liminality (the psychological experience and process of transitioning between liminal spaces / thresholds); and our eternal, hopeful quests to find light in the dark.

The films offer the chance to enjoy new cinematic experiences from intriguing perspectives, immerse in quiet, meditative, sensory spaces for respite and reflection, see and hear personal and historic stories, be transported to new worlds, and recharged by uplifting celebrations.
