CYBERGRIME is a disgusting erotic nightmare lovingly extracted from the fiber optic cable lodged in the slimiest depths of your brain. Oversaturated and underexposed: 8 twisted short films plus original glitch art form this breakneck 62-minute collection of hypersleazy technophilic homo-depravity, and a live electronic solo set by Keikii.
Filmmakers Asuka Lin (A.I. Mama) and Jessi Gaston (Black Pill) will be present for a Q&A after the 7:30 pm screening.
Accessibility note: Both screenings will have Open Captions. Live Captions will be provided for the Intro & Q&A for the first screening. Masks are required while not eating and drinking.
CYBERGRIME was curated by Henry Hanson. Read the full curator’s statement here.
