Interview and Performance of “A Trip To the Moon”
A word about the video:
This is an amateur video made by Anthropology Professor Robert Anderson, taken in 2006 in Lisser Theater on the Mills campus. It shows the 1902 Trip to the Moon and a brief introduction to my creative process of structured improvisation that I use to accompany the film. My warmest thanks to Professor Anderson for all his support.

By far the best accompaniment to Georges Méliès’ classic film, one of the most technically innovative films of its time. Read the Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Trip_to_the_Moon
This 1902 film may have been the first to be pirated, by none other than Thomas Edison, according to the article. Méliès never made a dime on it, the article continues.
