The film Once Upon the Moon allows the audience to experience the moon landings in the 1970s as if they were there themselves. Authentic footage, astronauts\u2019 own stories and the latest visualisation technology make this possible. Produced at Visualization Center C in Norrk\u00f6ping, the film will be shown worldwide. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u201cOnce Upon the Moon brings back a lot of the feeling of actually being in space,\u201d said Marcus Wandt, one of the astronauts featured.<\/p>\n\n

A scientific time capsule<\/h4>\n\n

Unlike traditional films, Once Upon the Moon is shown in a dome theatre, where the image fills the entire field of view and the audience is literally at the centre. Historical archival footage from the Apollo expeditions has been placed exactly where it was actually recorded, through visualisation technology in high-resolution scientific models of the moon. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe have created a scientific time capsule for one of the most important events of the twentieth century, which can be valuable to humanity in a hundred or even a thousand years,\u201d says executive producer Anders Ynnerman, professor of scientific visualisation at Link\u00f6ping University and consortium director of Visualization Center C.<\/p>\n\n

Wanting to take more people back to the moon<\/h4>\n\n

Director Carter Emmart<\/strong> is internationally renowned in astrovisualisation and has long had the vision to take more people back to the moon. The idea became a reality when he came to Visualization Center C and Link\u00f6ping University as a visiting professor within the framework of Peter Wallenberg\u2019s visiting professorship in visual science communication. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cI hope it will engage people, experiencing the Moon and by seeing our own planet from there,\u201d Carter Emmart says.<\/p>\n\n

He mentions the iconic image Earthrise, taken during an Apollo mission and for the first time showing Earth as a vulnerable, lonely planet in space. This image is one of many taken with Hasselblad cameras during the expeditions, and they are an important feature of Once Upon the Moon. The production has received funding from the Hasselblad Foundation. <\/p>\n\n

World premiere<\/h4>\n\n

The film premiered<\/strong> on 21 May at Universeum in Gothenburg. Universeum\u2019s dome theatre is one of five in Sweden that collaborate within the framework of Wisdome, a national initiative in visual science communication through, among other things, dome films. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe know that young people\u2019s interest in technology and science is waning. We want to induce a sense of \u2018wow\u2019 in the next generation of researchers and engineers and show how exciting science can be,\u201d says Anders Ynnerman. <\/p>\n\n

Astronauts from different eras<\/h4>\n\n

Once upon the Moon features interviews with two of the Apollo astronauts who have been to the moon \u2013 Charles Duke and Harrison Schmitt \u2013 and two modern astronauts \u2013 Christina Koch and Marcus Wandt. Together, they connect the moon landings with the moon journeys of today and tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe need to go back to the moon to be able to travel to Mars,\u201d Marcus Wandt said.<\/p>\n\n

When asked if he would like to go to the moon, he replied:<\/p>\n\n

\u201cAbsolutely!\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Lokal premiere may 27<\/h4>\n\n

Once Upon the Moon premieres at Visualiseringscenter C during SpaceNight on Wednesday, May 27, and will then be shown at WISDOME Norrk\u00f6ping starting May 30.<\/p>\n\n
