Mold – How Long Can You Pretend That Nothing’s Going On?
Motyl UŁ, 21 Sienkiewicza St., column hall, 1st floor
dir. Moryc Helms, 69’; black comedy, for adult viewers only
This will undoubtedly be the most bizarre event at the Fotofestiwal. Mold/Pleśń is a remix of fragments of B-horror movies, and afterimages of the old VHS tapes – a creation about the supposedly supernatural and the dubiously spiritual – with dialogues and commentary created live by the director. The screening will be set in the unique Motyl UŁ building, which will undergo a special transformation for the evening.
