Locarno 2019: SPACE DOGS in Cineasti del Presente

In their directorial debut Space Dogs Elsa Kremser and Levin Peter joined up with a pack of stray dogs in Moscow in order to discover the city through their eyes. In remembrance of the famous dog astronaut Laika, they interweave the wild lives of their animal protagonists with impressive archive footage from the space race in the 1960s.  Patrick Vollrath's 7500, a German-Austrian co-production, will screen on the Piazza Grande.
