OTTO; OR, UP WITH DEAD PEOPLE

Otto is a handsome, sensitive, neo-Goth zombie with an identity crisis. He wanders the streets of the city, never sleeping, until one day he auditions for a zombie film. The director, revolutionary Medea Yarn, is convinced that Otto is the personification of the effects of advanced capitalism on individuals. Medea begins making a film about Otto, while simultaneously shooting a film about a gay zombie revolt against consumerist society. As Medea directs the final, orgiastic scene of her film, Otto struggles to access the human emotions buried beneath his zombie exterior. (Strand Releasing)

NOTHING BUT PROGRESS
(NUR DER FORTSCHRITT)

“Two camels and two men are trapped inside a fable, longing for, but distrusting knowledge. Who can fight for humanity among football playing fascists, partisan storms and phony nature? “Nothing but progress” freely adapts tales by German philosopher Günter Anders.”
