There are many things we don’t pay attention to.
In A New View of the Moon, a mini-documentary by filmmaker Alex Gorosh, a telescope is taken through the crowded streets of Los Angeles to give passers-by a clear view of something that is always there, but that many have never had the chance to see up close.

The moon and its immensity.

With the musical background of Claire de Lune by Claude Debussy, one after the other, the surprised and emotional reactions of all passers-by who, maybe for the first time, have found themselves closer to something that is always there but that we never look at.

“It is a beautiful and wonderous sight to behold the body of the Moon…”
– Galileo Galilei, 1610
