Heart of an Astronaut

2023 · 14 min · Documentary

Space flight is a unique experience for a human being, upending the body’s mechanics as much as its metaphysical considerations. On board the International Space Station, we observe the astronauts' hearts and the doctor who monitors their every beat. Jennifer Rainsford (Our Heartbeats Are Connected Through Exploding Stars, VdR 2022) delivers a lyrically-accented scientific film, rendered with a weightless touch.
