“Deep Sky” premieres in the fall
The James Webb Space Telescope has been on the move for more than a year and has been providing the most impressive images from space since then. Now the discoveries are being prepared as a “Deep Sky” documentary in IMAX cinemas.
Deep Sky is a 40-minute spectacle for astronomy fans. IMAX recently announced that Crazy Boat Pictures and Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Nathaniel Kahn have joined the project.

The documentary delves into the $10 billion JWST design and construction process, showing the historic launch on December 25, 2021, and the release of the first color imagery of the galaxies on July 12, 2022.
For Deep Sky, the images captured by the telescope at a distance of about 1.6 million kilometers from Earth have been specially processed and annotated with a lot of background information.

“If ever there was a theme built specifically for IMAX screens, this is it,” said director Nathaniel Kahn. “The IMAX format allows you to enjoy the amazing resolution of the new NASA telescope and immerse yourself in the stunning cosmic landscape.”
“Deep Sky” is something even more special for IMAX as the company returns to the tradition of past IMAX documentaries. In addition, the public will be able to see JWST’s stunning images in a way never possible, by immersing themselves in the compelling history of scientists at NASA and the European Space Agency. The film is scheduled to open in IMAX cinemas in October 2023.
