Please join us for an open-air viewing of this month's film Beyond a Shadow of the
Moon by Louisville filmmaker Ryan Daly. Each screening will be on 16mm
film.
Beyond a Shadow of the Moon: Illusions and Achievements from the Golden Age of the
Space Race combines science fact with science fiction, a 73-minute compilation
film examines the limits of fantasy and the reality of illusion. Contrasting the
instructive mission of NASA films with the absurdity of science fiction films and
comparing the sales pitch of industrial films with exposition of newsreel journalism,
this exploration of outer space illustrates a world where fantasy and reality collide,
compliment, and compete for the future of mankind.
Ryan Daly is a film artist and archivist born in Louisville, Kentucky and a founding
member of the Louisville Film Society. Beyond A Shadow of a Moon is his
first feature length film; a found footage film compiled from over forty sources.
In July, he will travel to Portugal to present Beyond... at the Vila do
Conde International Film Festival and to serve on the jury for the experimental
entries.
