On October 5, 2021, Ms. Peresild, director Klim Shipenko, and veteran cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, launched on a Russian rocket toward the International Space Station. Their mission is to shoot scenes for the first feature-length film ("The Challenge") in space. While cinematic sequences in space have long been portrayed on big screens using sound stages and advanced computer graphics, never before has a full-length movie been shot and directed in space.
