On April 8, 2024, a small team of Quebec artists, scientists, and filmmakers launched a module called “Dorothy” equipped with multiple 360° cameras into the stratosphere. They achieved the remarkable feat of capturing footage of the Moon’s shadow racing across the Mégantic region at over 4,000 km/h.
The result is a dreamlike journey to the edge of space, blending scientific storytelling, philosophy, and poetry for the whole family.
Breathtaking images of our planet from above and the shadow that envelops us create a collective moment of wonder and introspection—a brief pause in our lives, inviting us to reflect on our place in the universe and our relationship with our fragile home, planet Earth.
Mission Umbra is a 12-minute 360° short film, preceded by an exclusive 45-minute documentary in 16:9 format, retracing the adventure of this passionate team who took on a bold challenge—proving once again that with determination and a bit of ingenuity, anything is possible.
