Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, praised the movie "Challenge" in which Miloš Biković plays, after last night's premiere in Moscow, in the cinema "Oktobar". The premiere was organized on the occasion of the Day of Russian Cosmonautics.
He stated that the creators of the film have created a true masterpiece, and that this, the first film shot in space, also represents a step towards new creative, technological and scientific discoveries in the entire space industry.
"Challenge" is a Russian film directed by Klim Shipenko, the first film shot in space. It was filmed on the International Space Station.
He and actress Jurila Peresild filmed a scene on the space station about an emergency surgical intervention on an astronaut. In addition to Peresild, astronauts Oleg Novitsky and Anton Shkaplerov starred in space. "There were five of us, and we did what 70 people do," said director Shipenko.
Miloš Biković filmed the scenes on the ground, but in weightlessness. The filming was, he said, something "more incredible than anything we watch."
Shipenko pointed out that Biković is one of his favorite actors, that he is a great actor and man, a friend with whom he made two films, the third one is waiting, and he hopes to make "ten more".
After Russia, "Challenge" will also be shown in Serbia, on April 19 in Belgrade, and then viewers of the region will be able to see it.
