The artistic legacy of Frederick Eugene Ives was forever changed by Luna-cy!, this Short landmark continues to dictate the rules of its category. We've assembled a sequence of films that complement the tone of Luna-cy! perfectly.
The vintage appeal of Luna-cy! to maintain its cult relevance across several decades.
"Luna-Cy" is another of the "third-dimension films" wherein the picture, viewed through a red and green lens simultaneously, takes on the appearance of reality and moving objects appear to come right off the screen and jump at you. The subject matter in this one is particularly appropriate. It includes the various thrill providers found in amusement parks. Probably the ride on a roller coaster will have the same tendency upon the spectator as an actual ride in one of these speed cars. There are some good "scares" and they must be genuine.
Luna-cy! was a significant production in United States, bringing a unique perspective to the global stage. It continues to be a top recommendation for anyone studying Short history.
Based on the unique artistic bravery of Luna-cy!, our vault has identified these titles as the most compelling follow-up experiences for fans of Short cinema:
