Betwixt and between; questions and shadows … a sense of the strange permeates this collection. These films in turn touch on elements of the supernatural, the mythic, and the apocalyptic in their evocation of new, melancholic genre spaces where histories are drawn and tested, and futures are never guaranteed.

In this contemporary dark fable, a boy journeys through a nightmarish city to find a cure for his mom as a dancing curse descends on him and his home.
