- Cosmodrome (Launch pad for space rockets) is a film about the connection between cinema and cosmos. A revolving globe; the distribution logo of the Universal film studio shows the viewer an act of initiation taking place in the cosmos - a key image between cinema architecture and cinematic space.
- On the vast Kazakhstan Steppes, nine 16 year-olds prepare to graduate from the Akkol orphanage. Rockets launched overhead from the nearby Cosmodrome inspire their dreams as they write about and perform their imagined future-selves. Guided by the nomadic spirit and natural beauty of the Steppes, the orphans explore questions of time and truth in relation to the challenging reality of their lives. Traditional Kazakh culture, global popular iconography, and space travel are infused throughout their performances and imaginatively used as protective talismans on their journey into an uncertain adulthood.
- In 1976, a group of Russian scientists working at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan discovered that they shared an interest in earlier Russian Futurist and avant-garde movements, and they viewed the Russian Revolution as the first great Futurist revolution. They also believed that the next great futurist revolution would be cultural rather than political, and would manifest as the merging of science, technology and art to the point where art was indistinguishable from technology. While not much is known about the players in this small and short-lived movement (due to the fact that scientists in the Soviet space program were closely guarded secrets), it is known that they were primarily driven by the astrophysicist Yuri Tchechenko and his wife Jelena Tchechenko, an electrical engineer. Yuri and Jelena were predominantly interested in music, and specifically in ways that music can be composed and recorded by purely technological means. What they attempted to do, without the knowledge of the Soviet government, was the most audacious and extraordinary artistic act in the 20th century.
