Space Programs: Views of Earth Across the Iron Curtain

For All Mankind still

Film Series

Seen from space, the Earth depicted in the legendary “Blue Marble” photograph suggested a planetary unity belied by the deep schism between East and West during the Cold War. Celebrating Earth Day on the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, Block Cinema has brought together three breathtaking films by American, Polish and Armenian filmmakers that revist the conquest of space from across this once-unbridgeable divide.
