The screening will be introduced by Krister Stoor and Alf Arvidsson from Umeå University.
At this year’s edition of the Umeå Film Festival, we present a special section of films that all explore space’s place in cinema and our desire to journey to unknown realms beyond our own sphere. Gazing at the Stars: Film, Space, and Humanity asks what happens when we look into the unknown — and what does it reveal about ourselves? Film and the sci-fi genre have a unique ability to preview the future while challenging our perception of reality. Through this section, we hope to reflect our dreams, fears, and hopes for the future.
