About: Kill the Moonlight (film)

The 16mm feature film, Kill the Moonlight, completed in 1991, is an unconventional comedy about a loser stock car racer. It starts normal enough, like a low budget drive-in movie from the 70's, but as the film unfolds, the main character starts to unravel in strange ways when he is contaminated by toxic waste. At the same time, the plot of the film disintegrates and scenes start to go out of sync, and the picture goes upside down and backwards at times. Sort of like a folk song turning into an experimental noise jam. Two of the film's characters are sampled in Beck's hit song "Loser". The film was unprinted and seen by very few until 1994 when it premiered at the Rome Italy Film Festival.
