MOSCOW, Apr 12 Russian President Vladimir Putin will surely watch the film «Challenge», but so far he has not done so, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
The Challenge is the first feature film shot in space aboard the ISS. As part of the project, on October 5, 2021, the first ever film crew went into orbit — actress Yulia Peresild, director Klim Shipenko and Roscosmos cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov. As part of the ground-based filming unit, 53 filming shifts took place, three of them in the Il-76 MDK zero-gravity laboratory aircraft. 12 shooting shifts took place on the ISS.
