The Mars Generation was chosen as one of the opening night films at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. It examines the science, politics and philosophy of mankind’s future journey to Mars. The story unfolds through the eyes of the teens who will be the next pioneers in space as well as the vanguards pushing the limits of space exploration. The film reveals that Mars is closer than you think.

Yuri’s Night is a global celebration of humanity’s past, present, and future in space. Yuri’s Night parties and events are held around the world every April in commemoration of Yuri Gagarin becoming the first human to venture into space on April 12, 1961, and the inaugural launch of the first Space Shuttle on April 12, 1981.
