• Bazat pe: Poética para cosmonautas

The Cosmonaut is a Spanish science-fiction film directed by Nicolás Alcalá and produced by Carola Rodríguez and Bruno Teixidor. It premiered in May 2013. As the first feature-length project of Riot Cinema Collective, it is notable for its use of crowdfunding and a Creative Commons license during production.

Production

The idea for The Cosmonaut originated from two main sources: the conversations between Nicolás Alcalá and Bruno Teixidor (the primary creative minds behind the project's visual design) about conspiracies, Lost Cosmonauts theories, and the Soviet space program; and the poetry book Poetics for Cosmonauts by Henry Pierrot.

In January 2009, the project underwent its most significant transformation: it transitioned from being a traditionally produced short film into a feature-length film funded through crowdfunding and distributed for free under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.

Inspired by productions such as A Swarm of Angels and Artemis Eternal, The Cosmonaut is the first Spanish feature film that makes use of the crowdfunding financing method. There were two ways to get involved in The Cosmonaut’s production:

First, as a regular producer. From an initial contribution of 2 euros, a contributor may be listed as a “producer” in the film credits, receiving a welcome pack, and a ticket for the drawing of one of the cosmonauts’ suits that will be used in the film. Further investments could be used to buy merchandising items in the film's online store.

Secondly, as a movie investor. From an initial investment of 100 euros, a contributor can own a percentage of the film's profits.
