Free screening and Google Hangout with the director
May 24, 2013 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
The Cosmonaut is a Sci-Fi movie that takes place during the space race. But it is also something else than a movie: The Cosmonaut is a transmedia project. Apart form the movie there are at least 32 additional episodes related with the story of The Cosmonaut. In an intriguing experiment, this film, directed by a young Spanish filmmaker, raised over 400.000€ in financing through crowdfunding; that will be distributed through the Internet for free at the same time as DVD, TV and cinema; and that will be available under a Creative Commons license, allowing anyone to copy, remix and distribute the film.
The Cosmonaut will be screened and Director Nicolas Alcalá, will join the audience via Google Hangout to answer questions about his experience with this amazing project.
