What does it feel like to travel aboard a spaceship? How does Earth look from orbit? What is it like to live and work in space? "Shenzhou 13," China's first 8K film shot in space, brings the answers to the big screen.

The film is set to premiere nationwide on September 5, and presale tickets are currently available.

Based on the Shenzhou-13 crew's six-month stay aboard China's space station, the film reveals awe-inspiring cosmic vistas and glimpses of daily life in orbit, captured with fully domestically developed 8K ultra-high-definition cameras. Most of the footage was filmed by astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping, and Ye Guangfu, with Wang's perspective guiding the story.

For space enthusiasts and movie lovers alike, this is a must-see journey. Step into the cinema, and behold the breathtaking beauty of our blue planet from above.

On October 16, 2021, the Shenzhou-13 mission sent three taikonauts to China's space station core module for a six-month stay. The crew spent a total of 183 days in orbit, setting a new record for the longest continuous spaceflight by Chinese astronauts.
