Tickets for China's first space documentary filmed in 8K technology by astronauts aboard the country's space station went on sale on Tuesday.
Produced by China Media Group (CMG), the film "Blue Planet outside the Window: A Glimpse of Space in 8K" is scheduled for release on Sept 5. It will also mark the debut of CMG's logo animation in movie theaters.
It was shot by Shenzhou-13 crew members Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping, and Ye Guangfu during their 183-day mission aboard China's space station from Oct 2021 to March 2022, the longest-ever mission by Chinese astronauts yet.
Using 8K, 50fps, full-frame integrated cameras, the Shenzhou-13 crew, in collaboration with the team on Earth, documented their day-to-day life in orbit from the preservative of Wang Yaping, including scientific experiments and the unique view of the Earth from space.
The premiere promises a rare first-person perspective of living and working in space, offering the audience an unprecedented visual experience.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Tuesday warned that his country would respond harshly to any act of aggression, following a renewed threat of military action from U.S. President Donald Trump.
He made the statement on social media platform X following comments by Trump on Monday, who threatened Iran with a major military strike if it resumed its ballistic missile or nuclear weapons programs.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran's response to any cruel aggression would be harsh and regret-inducing," Pezeshkian said.
Trump, speaking to reporters in Florida while welcoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said Monday: "Now I hear that Iran is trying to build up again, and if they are, we're going to have to knock them down."
In response, Ali Shamkhani, a political advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and representative in the country's Defense Council, posted on X that Iran's missile and defense capabilities "are not containable or permission-based".
"Any aggression will face an immediate harsh response beyond its planners' imagination," he added.
Tensions between Iran and the United States have escalated after a series of strikes in June. On June 13, Israel launched airstrikes on several locations in Iran, including nuclear and military sites, killing senior commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians. On June 22, U.S. forces bombed the Iranian nuclear facilities at Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan.
