Yugoslav Space Program: Myth Or Reality?

Comedy

The cold war, the space race, and NASA’s moon landing are landmark events that defined an era. But they are also fodder for conspiracy theories. In Houston, We Have a Problem! filmmaker Žiga Virc adds new material to the discussion on both fronts. This intriguing docu-fiction explores the myth of the secret multi-billion-dollar deal behind America’s purchase of Yugoslavia’s clandestine space program in the early 1960s.

VIBE

This film feels like a retro fever dream, blending historical absurdity with a playful, conspiratorial wink. It's a quirky, witty dive into what-ifs, wrapped in a stylish, mockumentary package.
