Cosmonaut

Esteemed Estonian animator Kaspar Jancis returns with a warm and eccentric story about a space station veteran. Is he mixing up memory and reality? Or perhaps his isolated retirement in a concrete apartment building is actually not that different environment to life in a space station cabin. Breathing, speaking and blinking are the raw ingredients with which Thomas Renoldner subverts the language of filmmaking. No surprise then that this witty and irreverent film has been picking up prizes everywhere, including at the Ottowa Animation Film Festival and an Off Limits award at Annecy.
