Don’t have the funds to embark on the next SpaceX trip to the moon? Pas de problème! Join us as we go back in time to the universe of early French cinema. We’ll explore the magic of special effects at the dawn of the art form and even take our own imaginary journey to the moon through a ten-minute short that is widely considered to be the world’s first science fiction movie.
