Described as "The Holy Mountain for iPad kids" and as being one of the new midnight-movie successors to films like Pink Flamingos, we're excited to bring Peter Vack's f**ked up internet odyssey to New Zealand for an exclusive run at Academy Cinemas, with a special Q&A screening on June 5th with director Peter Vack! "Rachel Ormont (Betsey Brown) lives in an all-too-familiar, decidedly dystopian, alternate universe where she tries to navigate a life of feverish monotony. Raised in captivity in the carefully controlled and craftily curated clutches of an advertising agency, Rachel’s humanity is imprinted by and organized around commodity and perception. Her parasocial relationship with the product being advertised—a popstar named Mommy 6.0 (Chloe Cherry)—blossoms, blooms, mutates, eats itself, is regurgitated and reconstituted in an insane sci-fi roller coaster ride. This hellaciously satirical exploration of performance, digital life, commodity culture, and modern sexuality is as deeply disturbing as it is grotesquely entertaining. Director Peter Vack provokes, pokes fun at, and perfectly encapsulates a nearly indefinable moment of terminally online, critically anxious American life. The singularity of this jarring yet reflective world is engineered with precision, malice, and wild abandon."

Jacques Tati’s magnum opus Playtime is a satirical comedy set in Paris, humorously portraying society’s confrontation with Modernism, which we're proud to be screening as apart of our All At Once festival.

Tati’s singular style immerses viewers as architectural inhabitants of a re-imagined, ultra-modern 1960’s Paris, but the audience is nonetheless encouraged to keep a critical eye on the consumer culture that pervades the screen.
