In Brno and Ostrava, seven films will be shown in astronomical observatories transformed into movie theaters. We will look at the Moon Base in a detailed project or Greenland, where the temperature is -22.7°C and the Arctic Ocean inspires electronic music. We will discuss planetary problems after the visually captivating documentary How We Were; we will celebrate Earth Day with the mostly invisible inhabitants of Planet Prague and the marine Nation of Whales, with always funny Lukáš Rumlena interviews. Families with children will enjoy the observatories and planetariums during the busy weekend. For the older ones, we are preparing an asteroid Mission, a search for the impact site of space debris. The youngest will go with the ever-hungry duo of animated squirrels to another planet for the tempting Hazelnuts!
