• 31 August 20:00. Screening of the film "The Road to the Stars" by Pavel Klushantsev

The film by Pavel Klushantsev is created on the border of genres, combining elements of science fiction and popular cinema. The plot is based on the life and works of the founder of theoretical cosmonautics — Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. The film clearly shows the principles of space flight. The first real space flight into space took place only 4 years after the release of the film.

Pavel Klushantsev is considered the ancestor of a unique genre that combines popular science and science fiction. He graduated from the camera department of the Leningrad Photo-Film Technical School, worked at the studios Belgoskino, Tekhfilm and Lentekhfilm. He is the author of a number of innovative technical developments in cinema, including the luminescent method of combined shooting, the camera stabilizer for aerial filming and equipment for underwater filming. Some of Klushantsev's inventions were later used by major Hollywood studios and directors, in particular by Standley Kubrick and George Lucas.

The screening is in Russian. Watch the film on live stream.

European Space Agency communication officer Marco Trovatello will present the talk “ESA and the arts: How to find and use the European Space Agency‘s data, imagery and sounds for your creative endeavours”. Not just since ESA has formally affirmed its Open Access strategy, the space agency shares large amounts of scientific and multimedia assets across its platforms. However, how to find and use them for artistic work is still not easy. 

Marco Trovatello, in these days working at the ESA‘s astronaut centre in Cologne, Germany and formerly the communication strategist who introduced the agency‘s Open Access efforts, will shed some light and help to explore the treasure trove of Space science data, not leaving international partners out.
