Astronomers who soar into the sky aboard a rocket launched from the barrel of a gigantic cannon embark on a perilous journey into the unknown in this space adventure film from the early days of silent cinema. Directed by Georges Méliès, this film blends a passion for scientific discovery with absurd humor. Upon reaching the moon’s surface, the explorers face strange creatures lurking among the craters and the threats of an alien landscape. The black-and-white imagery, combined with the magic of handcrafted sets, transforms the screen into an entirely different universe.
