This is Georges Méliès' Le voyage dans la lune/A Trip to the Moon with a soundtrack by the French group AIR. Méliès is already moving towards the prerogatives ofnarrative here, innovating a number of specific cinematic narrative devices (dissolves and linear time) however, the elements of the cinema of attractions are still very much present here.
Below a direct quote of the film by The Smashing Pumpkins in the Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris directed video for "Tonight, Tonight" (1996)
