The 25th FANTASIA FEST is now over! Although I watched from my computer like many of you I was very pleased with all the movies I saw, even those I enjoyed less. The movies I will discuss here all have one thing in common: they produce a very strange dystopian mood. The subjects are those that preoccupy us now, the decay and corruption we feel approaching with the climate crisis.
DIRECTOR/WRITER: Stef Lernous CAST: Ruth Becquart, Steve Geerts, Anneke Sluiters, Tine Van den Wyngaert, Dominique Van Malder, Tom Vermeir
This movie is enormously painful to watch. Sloth and decay is carried to the extreme with scenes that make us want to vomit.
It is meant to have comedic elements through the disgusting scenes but I did not feel the humour. I hung in there like a trooper so I could write about it!
The brain child of Phil Tippett who has brought his extraordinary talent to many iconic movies like Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Parc. It took him 30 years to complete this descent into hell via stop motion puppetry.
The theme of dead bodies pilling up and dead people interfering with our lives was also brilliantly explored in the documentary Woodlands Dark And Days Bewitched: A History Of Folk Horror. It is an unavoidable issue of life on Earth. Ponder this fact: in the coming 100 years, there will be 8 billion human beings who will die on our planet; we live on top of billions of dead animal plants and people; climate change will alter the taste of coffee and chocolate!
This morbid animated feature is about all of that.
DIRECTOR: Anna Zaytseva WRITER: Evgenia Bogomyakova, Olga Klemesheva, Anna Zaytseva CAST: Anna Potebnya, Yekaterina Stulova, Polina Vataga, Timofey Yeletsky
This movie is all about how teenagers get tangled up in cyber exploitation and abuse. It is a thriller based on real life events. It is simply brilliant! Fast paced and moving the young people have no time to think about what is happening to them and before they know it, they are ready to surrender their lives!
What really works about this movie is that it unfolds all through the eye of the computer and the computer screens. But it is also about strange moods!
