China's first 8K movie shot in space, titled "Shenzhou 13," was officially launched in Beijing on Friday.

Produced by China Media Group (CMG), the film is set to premiere nationwide on September 5.

The film features footage captured by Shenzhou-13 astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu. The story is based on the crew's six-month orbital mission in the country's space station.

The movie showcases never-before-seen cosmic vistas and intimate glimpses of life aboard the space station. As China's first space-based film project, it was shot using fully domestically developed 8K ultra-high-definition cameras.

On October 16, 2021, the Shenzhou-13 mission sent three astronauts to China's space station core module for a six-month stay. The crew spent a total of 183 days in orbit, setting a new record for the longest continuous spaceflight by Chinese astronauts.
