Programme Notes
The festival opens with Gaston Kaboré’s Zan Boko, a fierce critique of rampant urbanisation and media censorship in 1980s Burkina Faso.
Fox Maxy’s kaleidoscopic Gush, made entirely from the filmmaker’s personal archive, is followed by Anhell69, a film that weaves fiction and documentary into a rumination on grief, friendship and sexuality in present day Colombia.
A programme of genre-bending shorts from emerging and established filmmakers opens Sunday.
To close the festival, previously only accessible via VHS and pirated copies, we are excited to present the London Premiere of the new 4K restoration of Nowhere, Gregg Araki’s 1997 cult film about disaffected youth in LA.
