The Moon Man: Imaginative Children's Cinema for Curious Families
When a little moon resident has had enough of being alone, a magical family experience begins at Gasteig HP8: The Moon Man travels to Earth with a passing comet and discovers a world full of nature, people, and surprising encounters. This imaginative adaptation of a children's book invites children and adults to spend time together, enjoy children's laughter, and experience a special learning opportunity.
A Journey from the Moon to Earth
The Moon Man is bored on his moon and takes the opportunity to reach Earth with a comet. There, he encounters a completely new world for him. Nature, people, and the quest to find a way back to his satellite make the film a heartwarming story about curiosity, friendship, and discovering unknown life worlds.
Child-Friendly Cinema with Educational Value
The adaptation of the classic book by Tomi Ungerer opens age-appropriate discussion opportunities: What does it feel like to be a stranger? What does friendship mean? And how do we explore our environment with open eyes? Such themes support child development, empathy, and self-confidence. The Big Children's Cinema understands film as part of children's culture and combines entertainment with a child-friendly learning experience.

On Friday, October 23, 2026, families will experience the film at the Projector of Gasteig HP8. The screening begins at 3:00 PM and lasts until approximately 4:30 PM. The film is rated unrestricted and is recommended for children from about 7 years old. The certificate of Special Value from the German Film and Media Evaluation underscores the special cinematic quality.
