In addition to closing the Nef with a DJ set during the Closing Day, Jeff Mills will also present a cinemix of Woman in the Moon during a special concert at the Théâtre de la Croix-Rousse on Saturday, May 31, at 4 PM.

Passionate about science fiction and astronomy, Jeff Mills composes and performs live the soundtrack accompanying the screening of Woman in the Moon*. By blending the film with modern electronic sounds, he creates a perfect symbiosis between science fiction and techno. Directed by Fritz Lang in 1929, Woman in the Moon is a silent film considered one of the first to realistically depict space travel. Often mentioned alongside Metropolis as a major reference in science fiction cinema, Woman in the Moon is also seen as a link between two other genre classics: A Trip to the Moon (1902) and 2001: A Space Odyssey(1968).

*A film from the holdings of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung in Wiesbaden
