The Grand Illusion

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.

Program includes: “Annihilator” (Kyle Mangione-Smith – USA, 2022); “A.I. Mama” (Asuka Lin – USA, 2020); “1-888-5-BLUE-YOU” (Eric Griffin & Jake McClellan – USA, 2021); “S.I.D.S.” (Louise Weard – Canada, 2018); “Un PD avec PC” (Roland Lauth – Germany, 2021); “MonsterDykë” (Kaye Adelaide – Canada, 2021); “Black Pill” (Jessi Gaston – USA, 2020); “Pure Filth” (Ty Williams – USA, 2018); with titles by Is Chabon.
