Georges Méliès' 1902 film Le Voyage Dans la Lune, or A Trip to the Moon, begins with a group of Astronomers gathered together to discuss important issues of the heavens. This landmark film is commonly credited with some of the earliest and most innovative of "special effects" in cinema.
Nate Heiges is an artist and professor of new media at SUNY Purchase. His lecture will examine how science fiction images have affected the way we imagine our daily lives. |
