CEDAR email: New Documentary about the Northern Lights (English/Spanish/Italian/French/German/Japanese/Chinese)

[Pål Brekke]

New Documentary about the Northern Lights - available in several languages.

I would like to inform you about our new documentary that we have made for science museums, planetariums, science education etc. With spectacular imagery from an award winning photographer. The original was made with English narration but it is now also available in Spanish. In addition we have French, Italian, German, Japanese and Chinese versions. The film is in Full HD quality and can be obtained on a license based contract.  I am looking for contact info for local science museums etc. to be able to inform about our film.

We also plan to make a DVD with all the languages and make this available to schools/teachers.  To do this we also need to look into ways of distributing this product and eg. USA/Mexico. Any advices are welcome. One options is also to make it available for purchase on Vimeo.


Here is the official trailer of the documentary "The Northern Lights - A Magic Experience". Museums and planetariums can contact us to preview the entire film.

About: "The Northern Lights - A Magic Experience"

The 25 minute documentary takes you on a breathtaking journey through space. By using pedagogic top-quality animations and spectacular solar imagery from NASA satellites it tells the full story of the northern lights from myth to science. The film is packed with interesting historical anecdotes and includes tips about how to take your own stunning aurora photos.

It includes some of the world’s best photography and time lapse sequences of the northern lights. The film is perfectly suited for use at science museums, planetariums, hotels and by aurora tour guide companies.

The documentary is produced by Pål Brekke,  an international recognized solar physicist and public outreach expert with many years at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (solarmax.no/Aurora/Home.html). 

Co-producer is award-winning aurora photographer Fredrik Broms (http://www.northernlightsphotography.no). Contact one of us for a preview of the film and for license options. 

We can also recommend the new book "Northern Lights - a Guide" from which the film is based upon.
