8K Live-Action Documentary Film "Blue Planet Outside the Window" Exclusive Screening at GSC Starting March 5

In October 2021, the Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft was launched and successfully docked with the space station. Astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping, and Ye Guangfu thus embarked on a six-month-long "space business trip." This journey lasted a total of 182 days, setting a new record for the longest single-mission space stay in China’s manned space program, while also bringing Chinese life rituals to the "Tiangong" Space Station, hundreds of kilometers above the Earth.

During those nearly six months in space, the three astronauts not only completed an intense schedule of on-orbit work and experiments, but also celebrated the Lunar New Year for the first time aboard the Chinese space station: putting up Spring Festival couplets, hanging lanterns, holding "Fu" characters to send blessings, and even enjoying piping hot dumplings on New Year’s Eve—bringing their longing for Earth and the festive flavors of the New Year into space. This time, it’s our turn: as the New Year comes to a close, we step into the cinema to relive that cosmic Spring Festival with them.

The documentary film "Blue Planet Outside the Window," personally filmed by the astronauts of Shenzhou 13 aboard the Chinese space station, will be exclusively screened from March 5 at GSC Mid Valley, GSC Mid Valley Southkey JB, and GSC Gurney Plaza. The film invites viewers to take a first-person perspective in overlooking Earth’s magnificent textures, as well as hear the astronauts’ truest thoughts in the silence of the cosmos. Notably, Wang Yaping, China’s second female astronaut to enter space, also became the first Chinese woman to perform a spacewalk during this mission, setting a new record.

The film is about 90 minutes long, taking the audience on an immersive journey beyond the porthole, across the blue planet—from mountains, rivers, and coasts to city lights; from weightless routines to moments of quiet between work. Those previously unimaginable cosmic wonders and scenes of life aboard the space station become vividly tangible through 8K imagery.

What makes it even more remarkable is that these shots are not imagined representations of space, but real on-orbit footage recorded by the astronauts: the layers of clouds, the curvature of the coastline, the faint glow of cities under the night sky. Only by entering the cinema can you truly see every detail on the big screen with surround sound and experience the full sense of awe. This is not a short video easily swiped through on a phone, but a moment of space-gazing that warrants witnessing in film. #
