A comedy, "The Dish" tells the true story of a group of Australian scientists manning a remote satellite dish who, much to NASA's concern, are the only hope for receiving the historic images of Man's first steps on the Moon. With help from a colorful cast of local characters, the Dish's crew struggles to overcome a series of mishaps to play a part in one of Mankind's greatest triumphs. An audience favorite at the 2000 Toronto Film Festival, "The Dish" stars Sam Niell ("Jurassic Park," "The Piano") and Patrick Warburton ("The Emperor's New Groove," TV's "Seinfeld").

Moonwalk One is the NASA commissioned and digital remastered film of the first moon-landing.
The moon-landing of July 1969 remains an iconic event in human history and one of mankind's greatest achievements. First released in 1970, Moonwalk One is a philosophical and poetic account of humanity's unique ambition.

First Man
Drama
Oscar®-winning director Damien Chazelle and star Ryan Gosling reteam for the riveting story behind the first manned mission to the moon, focusing on Neil Armstrong and the decade leading to the historic Apollo 11 flight. A visceral and intimate account told from Armstrong's perspective, based on the book by James R. Hansen, the film explores the triumphs and the cost—on Armstrong, his family, his colleagues and the nation itself—of one of the most dangerous missions in history.
Danny Deckchair
Comedy
Loopy Australian truck driver Danny (Rhys Ifans) hatches a novel way to escape his drab life after a fight with his girlfriend: he ties large helium-filled balloons to his deckchair and floats away into the sky. But a violent thunderstorm sends him hurtling out over the Outback, where he lands (as in the Wizard of Oz) in a small town where no one knows him. Meanwhile, the news media is in a frenzy about Danny's fantastic disappearance.
