Sitting in a flying DeLorean, the audience gets rocked when traveling through several times.

Astronomers have begun one of the most far-reaching efforts to study the cosmos. They are forging giant new telescopes, while marshaling vast computational power. These technologies are part of a historic quest: to peer into space and time, to find out how the universe gave birth to galaxies and planets, to discern the amazing world of gravity and test theories by Einstein and other scientists.

A rare film combining art and science, Moonwalk is a large-scale, immersive experience in hemispherical fulldome format. It is an experimental film about humanity's relationship with the Moon. Beautiful Moonwalk weaves together literature and science with iconic songs and imagery into a grand audiovisual hyperlink. The film characterizes our placid heavenly neighbor as a living, scintillating force. Stemming from the countless photos which comprise lunar atlases, the Moon shatters into pieces, and then rebuilds itself. It evolves from its familiar pregnant blackness into a lambent, jittering hive of voices and sounds. Moonwalk reminds us of the Moon's ubiquity, compelling us to reconstruct our own personal history of the Moon. This accomplished work reaches beyond the idealized childhood daydreams of the heavens, past the familiar Apollo footage, and into the tender roots of culture which weave throughout our daily personal lives.
