The Star Dreamer
Sonja Vesterholt, Mads Baastrup, 2002
During the space race between the US and the USSR in the 1950s and 1960s Soviet director Pavel Klushantsev (1910-1999) worked on innovative, extremely realistic science fiction movies whose influence on the genre would continue for decades. Klushantsev began his career in the 1920s making propaganda films for the army, and only survived the terrors of the Stalin era and the German siege of Leningrad during the Second World War by a miracle.
