Proxima: A Global Look At Human Space Exploration

Proxima puts European space on silver screen, ESA

"The film also remains faithful to the international nature of space exploration, mixing an international cast and multilingual dialogue. "The world of space exploration is like that. It's a community of humans, in which Europeans, Americans, Russians and others live and work together in space," said Winocour. "Often in cinema, space exploration is represented through the prism of America's space agency NASA, and the astronauts are shown as sort of superhuman beings. What struck me, after observing the preparation process, is that there is nothing more fragile and human than astronauts as they confront space." Proxima premiered at the Toronto and San Sebastian Film Festivals in September and is set for release in France, Belgium and Switzerland on 27 November, in Spain on 13 December and UK on 17 April 2020."
