Delta Space Mission

Leaving November 30 • 1h 10m

Directed by Mircea Toia and Călin Cazan • 1984 • Romania
Starring Mirela Gorea, Marcel Iureș, Dan Condurache

Set to a killer synth prog soundtrack, the first animated film from Romania is a loopy and lysergic science-fiction eyeball-twirler that plays something like 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY on psychedelics. In the year 3084, an alien named Alma embarks on an intergalactic voyage on an ultra-advanced, AI-controlled spaceship called Delta—a trippy cosmic journey that turns dangerous when the vessel’s all-powerful computer brain begins to develop feelings for her.
