Last month we celebrated Cineville at Wonderville’s first birthday with a special feature presentation, and this month is a special encore presentation, to commemorate yet another anniversary: (quite possibly) the first & only screening on American soil of the Flying Luna Clipper.

I will once again refer to a bunch of randos on the internet, for their descriptions of what may very well be the one single film that truly embodies the spirit of Cineville…

"Take a trip on a chartered plane with a number of thrill-seekers (most of whom are anthropomorphic foods and animals). Found originally in a thrift shop on LaserDisc and ripped for online viewing, The Flying Luna Clipper is the only feature-length art piece/film created solely on the MSX2 system." - mubi.com

"The Flying Luna Clipper is the Finnegans Wake of movies-only-available-on-laserdisc. A Pre-Post-Vaporwave homage to the glory days of aviation, TFLC examines the various myths and facts that roil together in the dreams of cucumbers and snow men to expose a universal language of slumber. The film seeks to destroy and rebuild the sets of associations (word and meaning, object and image, etc.) from which one subconsciously constructs their subjective universe. By the end the film one struggles to find any kind of objective prospective. You will be reborn. 7/10. Best movie I've ever seen." - someone on Reddit

"Pixel art interspersed with live action footage reminiscent of [Nobuhiko] Obayashi... Is it video art? Tech demo? Lengthy Sony ad?" - someone on Instagram

"Is [this] really what Snowmen dream of?" - someone on Letterboxd
