Jim Finn’s retro sci-fi epic feature “Interkosmos,” about a team of international cosmonauts in the East German space program, will have its world premiere at the Rotterdam Film Festival, Jan. 25-Feb. 5.
“Interkosmos” marks the feature debut for Finn, whose live action and animated shorts have become a staple of art and experimental festivals and have been featured in two microcinema tours.
“I wanted to seem as if I’d been allowed into the archive of the East German space agency in the 1970s,” Finn said. “I built the film around reenactments of archival photos, like cosmonauts in a pool, or doing survival training in the woods.”
