Satellites of the Sun

Film animation and a knowledge of outer space bring to the screen this spectacular, awe-inspiring view of our solar system. Staggering distances are eliminated through the art of film: before our eyes is displayed the wonder of the universe. Moon, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Venus, Earth and all the other satellites and lesser matter in space are seen in amazing detail and perspective in their eternal orbits around the sun.

    “I love these short films, they inspired a Scottish electronic band called Boards of Canada who have taken a lot of inspiration from the sounds and visuals of these short films. Thank you national film board of Canada for these great, and imaginative animations and films. Peace, Twoism.” — Twoism, 20 Mar 2012
