Space Adventure is a 1989 sci-fi action brickfilm by Christian Stage. It was filmed in Norway and shot on Super 8 film, with all effects being achieved in-camera. Pre-production took place in 1983, the production occurred from 1984 to 1988, and the post-production was done in 1989. Upon completing the film, Stage created a preliminary soundtrack, and began sending the film to European TV stations and to The LEGO Group, to see if anyone was interested in doing anything with it. LEGO declined, with their stated reason being that it was too violent. The Children's Channel UK took interest, and created a new, more professional soundtrack. They added new voice acting, and allowed Stage to choose the music. The film was aired on The Children's Channel, and later also on SVT in Sweden and NRK in Norway.

In contrast to Hochhaus, with Felder 9.6 I wanted to realize a creative solution in the smallest of spaces, and at the same time exercise complete control over the development process. For this purpose I first looked for a suitable motif; it should be devoid of emotional or physical meaning and should not represent any function or idea. But it should very well already have a process-like dynamic, which I then wanted to take up with my design and, so to speak, 'transform'. I made a wooden light box with a glass surface; I mounted a red light underneath and a graph paper template on the glass with precise graphic instructions for the positions of the filmstrip on the photostrip. I had calculated that I could move the 16mm film 12 times across the width of the 35mm format, each time shifting the optical soundtrack by 3mm.

We grabbed the VHS camera and went along. 13 hard-drinking participants, including two New Zealanders, took part. The rules were simple: "One tequila every five minutes! If you don't drink, you're out!" Our plan: Wolfgang was to drink along first and then take over the camera later to film "insight", so to speak. I was supposed to film the beginning and then, as a non-alcoholic drinker, support him. After a short time, however, Wolfgang got so carried away that everything turned out quite differently...“
