In-Competition:In 1957, a dog named Laika was the sole passenger aboard the Soviet satellite Sputnik II. Laika thus became the first living creature to orbit the Earth. How did a small stray dog get caught up in such a pivotal moment in human history? BAFTA and Academy Award-winning director Asif Kapadia creates an immersive animated virtual reality short that adapts Nick Abadzis’s iconic graphic novel in a way that allows audiences to experience this incredible journey.
