A coolly detached, bourgeois housewife embarks on an outré carnal odyssey in search of sexual fulfillment, leading her into increasingly deranged, sinister realms in Szulkin’s surreal erotic fantasia. Screening with the short Working Women.

Resistance is futile in Szulkin’s stunningly nihilistic dystopian satire in which an intergalactic inmate finds himself the ignominious “hero” of a police state hell planet.

Szulkin’s bold debut feature, styled in sepia tones and dramatic lighting, has been called a precursor to Blade Runner, but its title also looks back to a more ancient myth of creation and morality. Screening with the short The Gal and the Fiend.

Based on Alfred Jarry’s incendiary, proto-Dada political satire, Szulkin’s final film is an outrageous, carnivalesque commentary on post-Communist Poland in which a drunken degenerate seizes control of the government in a supposedly “democratic” takeover.

This Sisyphean journey into madness unfolds in a postapocalyptic underground bunker where what remains of civilization is a step away from total collapse—and only one man can save it.

OBEY: sinister, hyperintelligent martians want your allegiance—and your blood—in this disturbingly prescient allegory of power, control, and media manipulation in a post-truth world.
