| Summary |
One of the most remarkable innovators of silent film, Georges Melies, amazed turn of the 20th century audiences with his stunning cinematic trickery and illusions. Made just seven years after the Lumiere brothers first introduced the cinematographe to the world, Trip to the Moon is one of Melies' most celebrated films. Part sci-fi, part surrealist fantasy, the film tells the story of a troupe of astronomers who jettison themselves into space in order to examine the moon from its surface. Directed by Georges Melies.
