“In 2017, a group of four friends decided to carry out an unprecedented experiment never done before. The scientist Javier Cacho, the expert in launching atmospheric balloons Fernando Ortuño, the audiovisual producer Chedey Reyes and the cinematographer Carlos Calato, travel to the Arctic Circle, specifically to the frozen lake of Inari (Finland), where they plan to film the dawns like no one had ever done before; record them from the stratosphere and in 360º".
In this way, Into the Aurora is presented, a documentary by the production company Jugoplastika directed by Chedey Reyes that premieres this Saturday, May 13 in Madrid (Elder Museum Screening Room at 6:00 p.m.).
Without wanting to reveal the outcome of their adventure, those responsible for Into the Aurora point out: "six years later, no one has yet been able to achieve this feat and [with this documentary] our team sits down to reflect on the experience."
"Beyond the scientific challenge, this story is a story of friendship, improvement and love for the northern lights, a natural phenomenon that leaves no one indifferent." "We are delighted to present 'Into the Aurora' to the public", says Chedey Reyes.
“This project was a real challenge both technically and emotionally for the whole team. I don't want to reveal anything about the story, but it is a documentary that I think will not leave anyone indifferent. I hope the public enjoys it as much or more than we have enjoyed making it."
The premiere of the documentary will be attended by the four protagonists who, after the screening, will hold a colloquium where attendees will have the opportunity to ask all kinds of questions about the screening.
