The debut feature from German visual artist Akiz tells the story of a teenage girl, who after attending a rave party forms a bond with a strange monster as she suffers a slow chaotic mental breakdown. Described as E.T. on acid, this mesmerising cinematic phantasmagoria is a must-see for anyone who likes their horror to stray away from the beaten genre paths. To bring you this unique experience we joined forces with the Karlovy Vary IFF, where the film will also be presented. The film starts with a strobe warning, quite rightly so, and a request to turn up the volume. A request we are happy to oblige.
