A brain-scrambling, genre-defying documentary that asks: if you were going to start a new civilisation on the moon, who would you take with you?

Directed by the irrepressible artist and “experience designer" Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian, this feature-length trip follows Nelly and her two parallel selves - Myriam and Lucia - as they prep for an analogue space mission. 

This is a documentary, sure, but not as you know it. It’s a high-velocity collision of eco-feminism, queer theory, and space exploration, featuring a stellar cast of experts ranging from theoretical physicists to horror filmmakers.

With a propulsive soundtrack by Pussy Riot and Colin Self, the film serves as a vibrant, frantic manifesto for a future free from colonial trauma. 

Whether you’re here for the science, the activism, or just the sight of three identical Nellys debating the merits of Schrödinger's Cat, this is a cinematic mission you won’t want to abort.

We’re super pleased to have Nelly with us for a Q&A after the screening.
