News Eurasian Subtitlers' League made an audio description of a silent film

On August 11, 2021, a group of audio describers from the Eurasian Subtitlers's League made the first ever Russian audio description of a silent film. It was George Méliès's "A Trip to the Moon" (1902).
The choice of the film is not accidental. Georges Méliès was not only a well-known screenwriter, director and actor. He came up with the idea of providing silent films with a short commentary describing what was happening on the screen.
