Escape into a program of short films that blurs the lines between reality and artifice, from an urban food co-op's technological experiment gone awry to a sci-fi thief's journey in a dystopian colony. Other tales include a noir story of a memory-battling agent, a surrealist disruption of an American sitcom's reality, and a poignant Midwestern story of grief. The collection concludes with an absurdist tragedy set in a repressive society where affection is forbidden.
In this program, boundaries blur and perspectives drift. This collection of eight experimental shorts invites viewers into liminal spaces—between land and sea, memory and myth, ritual and rebellion. Each film offers a distinct lens on transformation, whether through decaying landscapes, fractured identities, or surreal encounters.
The Quay Brothers' first feature in 20 years, inspired by Bruno Schulz's writings, follows Jozef on a ghostly train journey to a dying father's Sanatorium. Here, time is elusive, administered by the dubious Doctor Gotard. The 76-minute film intricately blends live-action and stop-motion animation, exploring themes of death and consciousness.
A film by Robby Rackleff and Alan Resnick follows Obie, a loser who encounters the Dance Freak, a creature resembling him. His ex, Dorty, tries to save him with the help of scientist Gorgul. The 2025 experimental horror-comedy features a mix of black and white and color. 97 minutes long.
