Take a trip to the moon, in colour!
If you thought Georges Melies 1902 classic trick film ‘A Trip to the Moon’ couldn’t get any better, check out Serge Bromberg’s release of a meticulously restored version of the original hand-painted colour film.
Clips & Footage represent Serge’s vast collection of film treasures (Lobster Films) in the UK and we couldn’t be prouder! 18 years in the making, the original colour print has been brought back to life by Serge and his award-winning restoration team.
This piece of cinematic history premiered at the Cannes opening ceremony in May this year and is coming to the UK on Monday at a special screening at the Institute Francais attended by French electronic duo AIR who have provided the soundtrack.
