Plan Delta
Bob Visser / NL, 1989 / 92 min.
Dutch science fiction as you have never seen it before: Plan Delta rises while the world drowns featuring music by post-punk band Tuxedomoon.
An imaginative, stylised, unforgettably dark, 1980’s vision of the future. Set in the year 2300 on the Delta Plan’s purpose-built island Neeltje Jans, the film explores the lives of two groups of people living in isolation since the 1953 North Sea Flood in the Netherlands.

Much in life is uncertain, but one thing is sure: climate change. Cinema Ecologica focuses on how film directors depict the relationship between humanity and the earth: from nail-biting disaster films to artistic meditations, from romantic nature experiences to astounding science fiction.

Bob Visser projects the Dutch North Sea Flood into the future with this film that should have become an instant classic.
