This year’s La fête arts festival runs from 2nd February until 29th March, at various venues around Bangkok including Alliance Française. A highlight of last year’s festival, Museum Siam’s Cinema Picnic by Moonlight (Cinéma pique-nique au clair de lune), returned on Valentine’s Day with an outdoor screening of the Georges Méliès classic A Trip to the Moon (Le voyage dans la lune).
A Trip to the Moon, silent cinema’s first masterpiece, was presented in 35mm, in a hand-coloured version discovered and restored last year. The film has been shown in Bangkok before, on DVD at the 5th World Film Festival, though last month’s screening was in 35mm.
