Russian filmmaker Klim Shipenko wants to return to space for another movie project. When asked about future plans, he expressed this desire to TASS reporters. Shipenko made history with The Challenge, the first feature film shot aboard the International Space Station.
The director believes space filmmaking will remain rare because of its complexity. He thinks such projects will continue to be major events rather than routine productions. The Challenge tells the story of a doctor who must quickly prepare for a space mission to save an astronaut's life. This groundbreaking film brought together Channel One, Glavkosmos, Roscosmos, Yellow, Black and White studio, and Start online cinema, with support from the Cinema Fund. A book about making The Challenge has become the most popular space-related publication recently.
