A Trip to the Moon
Synopsis
Originally shot in color, this politically-charged special was a collaboration between young artists angry at the system. Just days before airing, the Master tapes were 'accidentally' erased. It was taken to court and, after several years, the local TV station was found guilty of willfully destroying the tapes. Featuring inventive VFX and co-opting songs by the Doors, Dylan and the Steve Miller Band. "Seven young men, each of them involved in one of the arts [...] talk for the greater part of the film. They are involved in a discussion of mystical processes important to them" - Film-makers Co-Op
