On the Logic of Dubious Historical Accounts, 1969-1972
This film recreates Hasselblad cameras falling through space and hitting the surface of the moon. On each of the Apollo moon missions, NASA astronauts brought along such cameras. They were left behind in order to cut down on weight for the return trip to earth. Supposedly, twelve Hasselblad cameras remain on the moon.
