In search of 'Moonlight Desires' - the lost indie film

There is this indie film from the late '80s, 'Moonlight Desires', that only ever aired at a single film festival. It’s about a group of friends who discover a cryptic radio signal that changes their lives. I've heard it was a work of art that got buried because the creator vanished. Anyone have the slightest info about its whereabouts? Or any surviving stills or promo material?

Always thought that movie was an urban legend. Like something you'd hear whispered among cinephiles in dark corners of forums. If it's real, and you find it, dude, it's gonna be huge for film history buffs. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Saw it at the fest. It was groundbreaking. Had this haunting soundtrack that's stuck with me for decades. Still get chills thinking about the final scene. Tried to find the director after for a chat, but guess what, vanished. No one could tell me a thing, not even the other filmmakers.

uhh, idk if this helps but my uncle used to work at a video rental place. Said he saw a VHS cover for 'Moonlight Desires' once. Might have been a promo copy that never got distributed? This was AGES ago, so that tape's probably in landfill heaven now.

I was at a film restoration panel where they talked about projects, and 'Moonlight Desires' came up. The general vibe was that it's near impossible to find any surviving footage. Stuff from that era without digital backups is basically lost to time. Sorry to be a downer, just being realistic 👀

Heard whispers about a private collector in France who claims to have a copy of 'Moonlight Desires'. Apparently, the film is stored in a climate-controlled vault. Dunno how legit that is but it could be a starting point for you, mate.

I’ve spent years cataloging obscure films from the '80s. 'Moonlight Desires' might literally be the white whale of indie films. Director disappeared, so did the prints. Got some contacts in old film circles. I'll make some calls. No promises, but I've unearthed lesser-known gems before.
