- Summary:
- State of Weightlessness is a documentary that uses long-duration Soviet space missions as a lens through which to examine the psychological and historical dislocation of the late Cold War period. Drawing on rare audio recordings from orbit, the film explores how cosmonauts experienced isolation, suspension, and uncertainty while the political system that sent them into space was collapsing below. The physical condition of weightlessness becomes a metaphor for a broader state of ideological and existential drift, linking technological ambition to the human consequences of geopolitical transformation.
