Production

The state owned film production studio allocated a very small budget, because the film was not ideological and therefore not considered important.[4] During the shooting Radok was criticized for being a formalist, the filming was stopped and the movie was almost given to another director.[4] At the screening for the film council the film was criticized for being too expressionistic and unrealistic. Later it was recommended to not be sent to distribution. Radok was forced to make changes in the movie and was fired from the film studio.[4]

gollark: That would probably defeat the point, since laser stuff on it would be very heavy and large.
gollark: Millions of miles isn't very much in spæce terms.
gollark: > Yeah but with light propelled crafts you will be able to move indefinitly in the vacuum of spaceVery slowly (or, well, low-acceleration-ly), and only if you have infinite fuel.
