Director

Lizzie Borden

Set ten years after the most peaceful revolution in United States history, a revolution in which a socialist government gains power, this films presents a dystopia in which the issues of many progressive groups - minorities, liberals, gay rights organizations, feminists - are ostensibly dealt with by the government, and yet there are still problems with jobs, with gender issues, with governmental preference and violence. In New York City, in this future time, a group of women decide to organize and mobilize, to take the revolution farther than any man - and many women - ever imagined in their lifetimes.

BUTFF is glad to present this restoration of an undiscovered cult classic that fits perfectly in this year's REBEL HELL theme.

Director

Ryan Stevens Harris

Science fiction

Fantasy, sci-fi, and horror collide in this unique dreamlike cinematic experience. Shot with vintage lenses and on 35 mm.

The film begins when a little girl has a terrible accident and slips into a coma where she finds herself thrust into a darkly surreal industrial dreamworld. Haunted by a nightmarish spectre that feeds off her tears, she must follow her mother’s radio-static voice to find her way back to consciousness.
