Road to the Stars
In 1957 the Soviet film director and SFX wizard Pavel Klushantsev made a visionary film called Road to the Stars. There has never been an English version – until now! David A. Hardy has replaced the sound-track with specially-written music by The Light Dreams, and the narration with captions.
      The movie starts with the life of  Russian rocket pioneer Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, shows the early rocketry experimenters, and ends with amazing scenes of space stations and a Moon-landing. To see an excerpt click here.
PAL DVD. 46 minutes: £9.50, postfree in UK. NTSC version now available; US address will trigger £3.50 shipping charge.   TO ORDER: Please go to Merchandise.
