ELSE - SECOND SCREENING

Anx and Cass are a mismatched couple, trapped in his flat by a virus that makes infected humans merge physically with their surroundings. Will their frail emotional bond be enough to fend off the interior decor threatening to engulf them? What begins as body horror creeps into unexpectedly transcendental territory.

In the presence of director Thibaut Emin and the film crew.

ODDITY

A psychiatrist insists it was one of his ex-patients who killed his wife in this supernatural murder mystery, but the dead woman's twin sister, a blind clairvoyant, is not so sure. So she moves into the murder scene, an old house undergoing renovation, to seek out the truth - with the help of her freaky wooden doll!

REFLET DANS UN DIAMANT MORT

After deconstructing and reinventing the giallo and spaghetti crime subgenres, Cattet and Forzani home in on the eurospy thrillers of the 1960s. Italian genre legend Fabio Testi plays an ex-agent enjoying his retirement in a luxury Côte d'Azur hotel - until his neighbour vanishes. Have his old enemies resurfaced?

In the presence of the directors and part of the cast and crew.

TRANSCENDING DIMENSIONS

A sorceror, a hitman and a monk engage in a magic battle that takes us from the mountains of Japan to the farthest reaches of the universe via all kinds of surreal non sequiturs and psychedelic detours. But don't worry about getting a handle on the plot - just relax and enjoy this exhilarating mindfuck of a movie.

TIMESTALKER

Each time Agnes is reincarnated in a different historical period she falls for the same man, similarly reincarnated, before meeting a gory death. With its mad wigs and dildo gags, Lowe's anarchic anti-romcom may look like wacky comedy, but it's also a sly subversion of society's fixation on finding a perfect soulmate.

In the presence of Alice Lowe.

INFINITE SUMMER

Mia doesn't know what to do with herself after high school, but plans to work it out on a lakeside chalet holiday. But her Mean Girl besties and a mind-bending new drug throw her off course. Llansó deftly weaves peer pressure, the generation gap and transhumanism into a droll, dreamlike coming-of-age sci-fi yarn.

In the presence of director Miguel Llansó.

VULCANIZADORA + MOUNTAIN OF DISBELIEF (SHORT)

Derek and Martin, two middle-aged losers, lament their pathetic lives as they ramble through a Michigan wood. So far, so mumblecore. But the juvenile antics and aimlessness mask a violent agenda, and a shocking turn of events flips the film into full-on tragicomedy. From the director of Relaxer, who also plays Derek. 

+ short film Mountain of Disbelief - world premiere!
