Description: Fantastic Voyages of the Cinematic Imagination : Georges Melies's Trip to the Moon, Paperback by Solomon, Matthew (EDT), ISBN 1438435800, ISBN-13 9781438435800, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This book/DVD set for students and scholars of film history offers a collection of 12 essays, 25 b&w film stills from several movies, and two versions of Georges Méliès's 1902 film Trip to the Moon. The essays examine the landmark film in detail, demonstrating its connections to the literature, popular culture, and visual culture of its time period and discussing its influence on more recent films, music videos, and television. Contributors address questions of aesthetics, media, and modernity, and show that Méliès should be seen as a key figure in the emergence of the modern spectacle. An introduction traces the film's multiple versions and its place in the historiography of cinema; an appendix offers translations of three articles written by Méliès. The DVD contains two versions of the film: a reconstructed version accompanied by an original 1902 score, and a recently discovered color-tinted version; both include audio commentaries by the editor Solomon (cinema studies, College of Staten Island, City U. of New York).
