Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 8, 2005 -- An original musical film short, What Goes Up," by novelist, poet, and film artist Vanna Bonta will premiere worldwide at Yuri's Night, The World Space Party on April 12, 2005.
Vanna Bonta defines the DVD as "Musical Trance Fusion," a fusion of Trance and classical sound as well as a play on words that conveys the purpose of art as the transfusion of time into a distilled, aesthetic piece. The production is a tribute to aviation and Space pioneers.
The song "What Goes Up" was inspired as I was playing the piano and reminiscing about the SpaceShipOne launches I witnessed in the Mojave desert. It is an awesome thing to comprehend the magnitude of the fact that what a human being dreams and imagines can be realized. The power of that truth needs to be directed toward our creation of a future that is worthy of our human value and the word civilization," explains Vanna Bonta.
The first Yuris Night World Space Party was celebrated on April 12, 2001, marking the 40th anniversary of the first human, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagrin, who saw Earth from Space exactly forty years earlier. It also commemorates the first Space Shuttle flight 20 years later in 1981. This annual global event brings together thousands of revelers in parties on all of the Earths continents. These celebrations range from huge dance parties, to dinners and personal at-home celebrations.
