A Trip to the Moon poster
DR
By Alison Hird

One of cinema’s founding fathers, the Frenchman Georges Méliès, made the first ever sci-fi adventure A Trip to the Moon in 1902! A fully re-mastered colour version is now out in French cinemas. The 15-minute film took 12 years to restore, thanks to the patience and passion of two French filmmakers… and a little help from Hollywood technology.
