Bitterly sweet, tactile, sticky: these six films test both realities and sensibilities. Audiences will travel from the witch-laden streets of New Rio, to genre-bending stories of those trapped in surreal televisual landscapes. If a touch of terror mixed with the comedic grotesque tickles your fancy, look no further than these unhinged gems. 

Ben is the only night shift 911 operator in a small town. His bubble of self-isolation is only ever punctured by drunks or prank calling kids, but tonight Dark Mommy has her own intentions for Ben...and the rest of the town.
