Travel on board the ISS
The 25-minute film by Pierre-Emanuel Le Goff and Jürgen Hansen allows us to discuss a six-month mission with Thomas Pesque at a weightless 400km altitude. We are watching his training at NASA Training Center in Houston, his life on the ISS, his experiments in the spacecraft laboratory, and his extraterrestrial outings in a space vacuum. Marion Cotillard comments on the film.
A fabulous journey with a French astronaut that allows the viewer to realize the beauty and fragility of the earth by changing perspective.
Unicef’s Ambassador for Climate Change and Drinking Water Access Since 2016, the French astronaut has taken many photos of Earth seen from space during his two missions and learned about the climate emergency.
Tima Pesket also explains that his mission made him even more eager to protect the Earth: “When we are in space, we feel the universe as a whole. We see how fragile it is, we see that the atmosphere is thin and that it contains all life. Everything else is black. I already knew this but I felt it here.
Unfortunately I saw traces of human activity, which is sometimes harmful, pollution, deforestation. You can view this from the ISS. We see river faces that are very dirty, we see wounds in the Amazon, we see pieces that were green and are gradually turning gray. We see ice melting compared to photos of astronauts for several years …“
For directors,We feel the beauty of the Earth in the landscapes that parade at a speed of 28000 km / h under the station and at the same time the weakness, because we see very clearly that it is protected only by a thin layer of the atmosphere and that it floats in space like a bubble.
Moreover, the shot by Thomas playing with a water bubble symbolizes this very weakness in this completely black environment, devoid of life (until the contrary is proven), it is a cosmic emptiness. It is a sense of the planet’s love, of weakness, of the uniqueness that Thomas can feel physically.. “
How was the film made?
Pierre-Emanuel Le Goff and Jürgen Hansen explain their project:When we heard that Thomas Peskett was traveling to the International Space Station, we showed him Zero Gravity, a documentary about the space mission of German astronaut Alexander Gerst.
After seeing him, Thomas Pesket wanted to not only accompany our approach, but also get involved in filming, as he believes that communication and popularization are an integral part of his mission.. “
In addition to being a documentary filmmaker, the French astronaut also had to shoot scenes. For this, the film directors gave him a “shooting list”. He had to try to take accurate shots and had several types of cameras.
Surveillance cameras, mobile cameras in HD format and RED large format sensors (6K) and GoPro 4K specially trained for extracurricular activities that required special training to withstand extreme temperatures (-100 to + 150 degrees).
The directors specify (in the movie press kit) that they have an innumerable number of racing hours. So editing these 25 minutes took seven months.
In the Eyes of Thomas Pesquet and Other Space Adventures is coming out in theaters this Wednesday, April 27th.
