GIRAF20 FEATURE: DELTA SPACE MISSSION

Romania’s first animated feature, Delta Space Mission, is truly an 80s energetic trip. Tantalizing psychedelic rotoscoped loops over top Richard M Power’s-like sci-fi painted environments, all fuzed together with a multi-layered analog synth score that would make even Calgary’s own TONTO beep with envy. Celebrating its 40th anniversary, Deaf Crocodiles did a beautiful 4K restoration print of this film highlighting this amazing feat of animation history. This film is like a crazy quilt-like adventure that invites its audience to space out as its overwhelming charm washes over you. 

A self-learning supercomputer fixates on an intergalactic reporter, Alma, and spawns Stone Monsters, Water Beings, and Robots intent upon abducting her. Stranded on a hostile planet Alma is protected by her alien dog Tin whose appetite for metal plays a vital role before the climactic confrontation between human and AI.
