A billion years ago, two black holes collided violently, producing gravitational waves. This marvel of the universe, only recently discovered, has shifted our perception from merely observing the cosmos to actively listening to its sounds.
Venice Film Festival’s Golden Lion award-winning interactive virtual reality series, Spheres, delves into the sounds of the universe. Directed by Darren Aronofsky, the five-time Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind Black Swan, it features voiceovers from Millie Bobby Brown of Stranger Things, Jessica Chastain, and punk icon Patti Smith. The series has earned an impressive 8.4 rating on Douban.
Spheres has garnered significant attention, being nominated for various international film festivals including Sundance, Cannes, and South by Southwest, and has been showcased in multiple countries and regions such as the United States, South Korea, and France. Audiences worldwide have been astounded by the film’s extraordinary imagery.
As the distributor for Spheres in China, Sandman Studios has invited renowned actress Shu Qi, singer Gong Linna, and host Li Jing to provide voiceovers for the film. In collaboration with UME Cinemas, they offer an immersive cosmic experience, allowing viewers to listen to a magnificent symphony that has been playing for billions of years.
Immersed in the universe, viewers will directly experience the unparalleled beauty and boundless desolation of the cosmos. Through interactions with celestial bodies, light waves, and gravitational forces, they can freely navigate between the microscopic world and the vast expanse of the universe through music, light, and tactile vibrations. From the reactions between molecules and atoms to the movements of planets and galaxies, from the slow growth of all things to the rapid rotation and birth and death of stars, the wonders of the world are all within view.
Open all year round from 10:30 to 21:30.
