Special Programme  

A French mockumentary masterpiece “Dark Side of the Moon” tells the story of the first American landing into the moon. It turns out that the event was directed and filmed in a studio with a help from special agencies. In addition, the legendary film-maker Stanley Kubrick contributes to the falsification of this historical moment. Directed in the mesmerizing style of BBC documentary, this film mixes the real facts with absolute fantasy and ironically reveals how easily one can produce the great danger of our times – misinformation.
