Inspired by a documentary film project, “Moon Landing” offers a credible glimpse into the living conditions of a Russian-German immigrant family, while also drawing on fictional elements typical of a feature film.
Through its direct cinematography, provocative music, and—not least—the outstanding performances of its cast, the film unfolds with a special intensity.
With this Commendation, the Interfilm jury wishes to honor the consistency of this project, which was realized despite limited production resources and which, precisely through its adherence to the Russian language, succeeds in vividly portraying the sense of alienation.
