In his first visit to Stockholm, the polish documentary film maker Maciej Drygas known for his commitment to long term research projects, often using archival footage, will present and talk about his film The State of Weightlessness, 1994, a tender portrait of the cosmonauts and a critical reading of the conditions imposed upon them by the Russian space programme under communism. All his films contain an ethical dimension in both the treatment of found sources and themes which picture a dilemma between individual lives and historical forces.
