YURI ON THE PHONE  (awarded short comedy film)
Channel: SonOfHank
Date: 08/03/2016

‘Yuri on the Phone’ is a dry humorous short comedy featuring Serbian film diva Rada Đuričin (1934) as a woman whose passion for the first man in space is still as strong as when it was first set aflame after Gagarin's launch in 1961.

In this series we made 4 short films on 'Yuri Gagarin' so far: 
#1: The Yuri Gagarin Goose Chase 
#2: The First Yugoslavian Cosmonaut 
#3: Yuri on the Phone 
#4: RIngo Rocket Star (2017)
AND... (with your help) we hope many more to make! Ideas enough...


The intro and subtitle animation is made by Dutch design studio 'Addikt' & Miss 'Celia Rosa'. ￼They made a nice retro nostalgic animation combining old USSR / CCCP space designs with contemporary graphic design.

The film has been shown on more then 50 filmfestivals all over the planet. It won several awards and got great responces. The film was also shown for two months at Fotografia Europea at the main Museum of Reggio Emilia in Italy. It was used for educational purposes at the film-school in Leeds and showed in a theater for blind people in Istanbul.
