Starry Animals:
Mountain, Sea, and River Constellations in Colombian Skies
 

Produced by: Parque Explora, Planetario de Medellín, and Double Dome Films.

Our new production stands out for its delicate treatment and the powerful relationship between the sky and the constellations of our territory, which we can make our own, just as ancient cultures did when they carved their stories into the night sky. The poetic script, the art direction, and the creative concept were handled by Parque Explora and Planetarium of Medellín. The English narration was performed by Ellen Cribbs, the original music was composed by Camilo Posada from Flip Music Studio, blending traditional Antioquia music, symphony orchestra, and Colombian instruments like chonta marimba, tiple, tambora alegre, bandola, gaita, charango, quenas, and native flutes. Master Pachito Muñoz played the wind instruments, while folk singers Juliana Correa and Laura Tascón performed the vocals. The 2D graphic inputs were created by Estudio Agite; editing, composition, and 3D animations were produced by Double Dome, who, through immersive 360° environments, brought to life an experience that captivated the entire festival audience. This show has won the “Audience Choice Award” by the audience of Dome Fest West 2025, the most prestigious full-dome film festival in the United States, held annually in Boulder, Colorado. Furthermore, adding to the list of accolades, at the Jena Fulldome Festival 2025, which took place on May 17 in Germany, they were awarded the “Best Fulldome Science & Education Film” award. The Jena Fulldome Festival 2025 jury also stated:

“Captivating audiences with a dreamlike aesthetic, this film subtly conveys an educational lesson about the wonders of our living planet and the urgent threats it faces. In a world often saturated with environmental documentaries, its stylistically restrained tones make it a unique and impactful work.”
