Polish artist and self-taught animator Mariusz Wilczyński's striking feature debut – 14 years in the making – is an eye-popping, hand-drawn fever dream pulling from the filmmaker's recollections of his childhood in Łódź, his adulthood and the distortions caused by memory and time. The nightmarish narrative moves between Communist-era Poland and the present day, interweaving recollections of Wilczyński's parents, his hometown and the sad souls that populated it with a stream of consciousness reflecting on his memories. "If you got higher than you've ever been in your whole life and then tried to draw all of your childhood memories on a series of Post-It Notes, the results might look a little something like Mariusz Wilczyński's KILL IT AND LEAVE THIS TOWN, a psychotropic vision quest through the animator's own past that blurs the living and the dead into a bittersweet orgy of squiggles and undefinable sadness." – IndieWire.
