Nothing special or unusual happens. Daylight moves around the moon the same way that it moves around the earth and other planets/moons in the solar system. The more of the far side is illuminated by the sun, the less is illuminated of the side that we see.
--------------------------------------
This configuration is called a"new moon".
A lunar eclipse can occur when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the moon. This creates a phenomenon where the sunlight is blocked from reaching the far side of the moon, resulting in a partial or total eclipse.
This phenomenon is called a "lunar sunrise." It occurs when sunlight illuminates the far side of the moon as seen from Earth.
Crescent moon OR new moon. Actually any time except a full moon.
The author of "The Man Who Went to the Far Side of the Moon" is Bea Uusma. It is a children's book that tells the story of the first human to explore the far side of the moon.
There can be craters anywhere on the moon, not just the side we see
At New Moon the dark side is turned towards us and the Sun shines on the opposite side.

Far Side of the Moon - film - was created in 2003.
No. The far side of the moon is usually partially illuminated by the sun and is only completely dark during the full moon. The far side of the moon is fully lit during the new moon phase. It is called the "dark" side of the moon because we never see it.
This is an uneducated way of referring to the far side of the moon. But the far side isn't always dark.
The duration of Far Side of the Moon - film - is 1.75 hours.

Yes.
The far side of the moon is always opposite of the visible side. When the moon is new, it is between the Sun and the earth. Since we see the dark side of the moon, the opposite side must be fully lit by the sun. Likewise when we see a gibbous moon, the far side would be a crescent. When we see a full moon, the far side is in complete darkness.
