Regarding the holiday, some people might think it's Mexican Independence Day, but that's actually on September 16. To learn more about Cinco De Mayo -- and about the May 5 (1862) battle between the French and Mexican armies at Puebla and its significance -- read articles here or here or here.
Here's a short French film, Le Voyage Dans la Lune. And, from Strange Horizons, "A Brief History of Mexican Science Fiction."
