Maya and the Starboy

The film follows a class of star-boys who embark on a journey with their research spaceship to attend "Outdoor School" on Earth. Equipped with shiny badges called "snurke," they remain invisible to humans. However, one star-boy named Gubang breaks the rules when he befriends a girl named Maya, leading to unforeseen complications in both worlds.

With a runtime of 78 minutes, Maya and the Starboy combines adventure and comedy with science fiction elements. The narrative explores themes of curiosity and friendship, making it a distinctive entry in the genre. As a woman-directed film, it adds to the representation in the science fiction landscape of the late 1980s.
