1975 · Film
Released in 1975, The Moon is a notable film directed by Lutz Dammbeck, running about 6 minutes.
What it’s about. The moon swirls happily around, watching strange animals enjoying themselves and dancing to gramophone music in its light. Then, suddenly, the moon falls out of the sky, and a greedy dragon drags it into his cave and forces it to give him light while he eats all the cakes. When the nights stay dark, the animals come up with a plan. Otto Sacher, East Germany’s legendary animation director and co-founder of the DEFA Studio for Animation Film, was the artistic advisor for this film, the first of Dammbeck’s animated works.
