Constellations and Myths
The movie “Constellations and Myths” – ASTRONOMYTHS is a production of the company White Tower Media that is addressed to young and old. In a magical way, it conveys to the viewer the stellar systems and the world of myths, which gave their name to each constellation.
“Our goal was to create a show that brings educational content to the screen in a highly creative and entertaining way,” said Konstantinos Yantsios, Producer and CEO of the company.
The film has already received extremely positive messages from planetariums abroad, such as in the USA, Northern Europe and the Middle East, but also in Greece: “The film ASTRONOMYTHS exceeded my initial expectations. It offers the public a glimpse of the universe and the Celestial Miracles, combining modern astronomy with ancient Greek mythology. It is a unique timeless show for Planetariums that will attract spectators for many more years. ” commented Dionysios P. Simopoulos, Director of Eugenidi Planetarium.
“ASTRONOMYTHS uses pioneering 3D technology and presents a strong story, which for the first time in the history of planetary programs combines the majesty of the Planetary Dome with the narrative structure of cinema. The film presents many real and imaginary characters with intense action and imaginative scenes. Contains exciting visual effects, aiming to teach, inspire and entertain, in an unprecedented audiovisual experience. This is the night sky, as you have never seen it before “stressed Giannis Zafeiriou, Director and Screenwriter of the film.
The film tells a story “deep in an autumn forest, where an Old Man and a Boy are sitting, sitting around a fire, looking and observing the night sky. Hundreds of billions of bright stars, shining high above them, are almost a breath away from their hands and ignite the boy’s imagination and the Old Man’s willingness to share his knowledge. Soon a game of discovering the mysteries of heaven begins and together with the unlimited wisdom of the Elder and the almost “magical” book of the child, they travel to the universe, in a dazzling landscape beyond all human knowledge and imagination… ”
