Dancing on the moon
16 August 2010
This kind of film was starting to wear a little thin for audiences in 1908. The first narrative film was already five years old, and moviegoers were growing accustomed to seeing something a little more advanced than the same trick photography that the likes of Segundo de Chomon (here) and Georges Melies had been producing for a decade by the time this one was made.

A woman on a crescent moon creates five clowns from sheets. They spill down to the moon in what is probably the most impressive section of the film then perform a little dance before repeatedly tapping each other on the head or kicking each other up the bum to change into another character. A mild diversion, but nothing more.
