Fantastic Fictions returns with a grab bag of genre delights, inviting you to lose yourself in the uncanny spaces that defy categorisation.
Meet a woman convinced that God is trying to communicate via her sleep-talking husband; a barber who discovers his local politician is a donkey; a woman spanked into spectral ecstasy; a metal singer’s biotech comeback gone awry; a Palestinian doctor whose night drive turns feral; and a suave spy taking on an unexpectedly tender road trip, with a ghost.
Featuring work starring Nabhaan Rizwan (In Camera) and the latest from Federico Barni (Arctic Diva), this is genre cinema at its most unpredictable.
The attending filmmakers will join us for a Q&A after the screening.
Contains scenes of graphic violence or injury, homophobic attitudes and language, and themes of death.
