Mission UMBRA
Capturing a total solar eclipse from the stratosphere
On April 8, 2024, our team managed to capture the shadow of the Moon from the stratosphere at the exact moment when the solar eclipse crossed Quebec, a technical and scientific feat rarely achieved outside of major space agencies such as NASA.
Our first film, Mission Umbra, was screened in the dome of the Society for Arts and Technology (SAT) in Montreal for two months, attracting more than 4,000 viewers and generating remarkable enthusiasm among the public.
It was also screened at the Festival du Nouveau Cinéma (FNC), at Astro-Fest the astronomy festival at the Montreal Planetarium, and made its international premiere at the Dome Under festival in Australia in January 2026.
It has also been repeatedly praised in the national and international press.
