Short Film: Ambition


"Ambition" Directed by Tomek Bagiński

"Ambition" is a collaboration between European Space Agency and Platige Image as part of the ESA's campaign to promote its audacious Rosetta comet mission.  It was shot on location in Iceland, and it was recently screened at the British Film Institute’s Sci-Fi: Days of Fear and Wonder.

The short film is an allegorical explanation of the Rosetta comet mission.  It tells the story of an Apprentice's journey to seek out the key to life amidst a rugged alien landscape.  The story parallels the ESA's own decade-long journey to unlock the mysteries of a comet and the origins of our Solar System with its Rosetta spacecraft, hundreds of millions of kilometers from Earth.
