Weird Film Spring Screening - April 2018

An enthusiastic crowd watched a program heavy on sci-fi and unusually zombie-free, and filmmaker Devlin Clark ("Heartless") was on hand for Q&A. [The supernatural vibe will probably pick up for the Halloween show!]. 


MOKSHA (Vick Krishna, USA): Poignant post-apocalyptic tale of a son's determination to fulfill his mother's dying wish.
 

HEARTLESS (Devlin Clark, USA): A lost robot is sustained by the companionship of musical spheres.
 
TINY CLONES (Jim McDonough, USA): Justice descends on a sadist who torments his clones. 

CONTACT (Teal Greyhavens, USA): A space fleet's VR entertainment malfunctions. Any more detail would be a spoiler! Unsettling.
 
TIME HEALS NO WOUNDS (Jordan Barnes-Crouse, Canada): Garage tinkering gone Horribly Wrong. Time travel isn't what it was.

EINSTEIN-ROSEN (Olga Osorio, Spain): A delightful look at a child's use of a wormhole.
 

ATHEMATIC (Jean-David Izambard, France): Another bizarre comedy from Jean-David Izambard, with fine performances by two mannequins!
 

OUR TURN (Martiros Vartanov, USA): Sweet homage to a newborn - and Buster Keaton.
 

3 KEYS (Josh Funk, USA): A visit to a psychiatrist becomes (or perhaps has always been) a recursively fatal flight from a killer clown.
 

10 YEARS BEFORE HAPPINESS  (Murray Teows, Canada):  A trip through an animated noir nightmare.
 

MY MONSTER (Izzy Lee, USA): What to do when a Creature won't get off your lawn. A twist on the usual screaming, running and falling.
 

WHAT METAL GIRLS ARE INTO (Laurel Vail, USA): A trio headed for a concert deal with a really evil landlord. Bloody hijinks ensue.
 

PIZZA DELIVERANCE (Derek Griffiths, Australia): A pizza crew (with the skills of Jason Bourne & Lorraine Broughton) take brand loyalty very seriously.
