Thanks to our friends at IMAX, you can view this special Hubble: IMAX Filmmaker Q&A recorded on Zoom and edited with memorable film scenes and bonus content.

Discover how IMAX filmmakers captured NASA astronauts in space.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Hubble, we invite you to meet the technical experts who overcame the unique challenges of filming NASA astronauts making critical repairs to the Hubble space telescope 350 miles above Earth. See how astronauts trained in water to simulate working on the space telescope. Learn how a new IMAX 3D camera and custom camera housing, required for the mission, was developed. Discover how the 700-pound camera housing was packed into the Shuttle Atlantis’ cargo bay in order to capture the spectacular footage. Recorded and edited with memorable film scenes and bonus content, this Q&A provides a fun look at how science, technology and engineering skills combine with moviemaking.

Hubble, the breathtaking IMAX space documentary, offered a unique look into the Hubble space telescope’s legacy and highlighted its profound impact on the way we view the universe. Narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, produced and directed by Toni Myers and executive produced by IMAX co-founder Graeme Ferguson, Hubble is an IMAX and Warner Bros. Pictures production in cooperation with NASA.
