Requiem imagines the last remaining astronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS) bidding farewell to their vessel before it is deorbited and crashed into the remote Pacific Ocean.

Based on an original collection of poems — voiced by actual astronauts around the world — this speculative non-fiction film combines exquisite still photographs of the ISS taken by Roland Miller and Paolo Nespoli with dramatic archival footage that evokes its future watery grave. As the ISS's lifespan draws inexorably to a close, how will we as humans say goodbye to an outer space habitat that has been a home to astronauts for decades?

Featuring the voices and generous participation of Dumitru Dorin Prunariu (Romanian cosmonaut), Paolo Nespoli (ESA astronaut), Claudie Haigneré (ESA astronaut), Soyeon Yi (South Korean astronaut), and Cady Coleman (NASA astronaut).
