The documentary by Anna Filippova about the first cosmonaut has been selected as a contender at the Street Movies Festival, an international film festival in Belgrade known for its outdoor screenings.
Yuri Gagarin embarked on a world tour called Mission of Peace, visiting 46 countries. Archival footage of his travels abroad forms the foundation of the film, along with interviews with cosmonauts and space industry professionals. The film also highlights the mission of the Dialogue of Cultures - United World International Foundation, which has been donating sculptural compositions dedicated to Gagarin to nations worldwide since 2011 in honor of his historic achievement. Today, his monuments and busts stand in over 60 countries.
Gagarin. Embracing the World was the opening film of the V Tsiolkovsky International Space Film Festival and received an award from the State Corporation "Roscosmos." The film also won Best Short Film at the Kollywood Film Festival in India and was recently screened at the Veracruz Short Film Festival in Mexico.
