Alibi

Quoting Maya Deren’s ‘At Land’, ‘The Savage Eye’ ‘Marnie’ ‘The Battle of Algiers’ ‘Naked Youth’ ‘The Buddha Collapsed out of Shame’ among other films, and a number of texts including Poe’s Israfel, Alibi is a nightmare journey into paranoia and sorrow, riffing on noirish dystopias and mashing up pop songs and poetry, sushi bars and the streets of Istanbul to create a bricolage of chaos and confusion, evoking psychological crime scenes and tortured thought. Shot on a phone Alibi mixes citation and documentation to create an oneiric emotional pessimism that is at once noir and cinephilic, akin to a audio-visual panic attack.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

A zombie outbreak has fallen upon the land in this reimagining of Jane Austen's classic tale of the tangled relationships between lovers from different social classes in 19th century England. Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is a master of martial arts and weaponry and the handsome Mr. Darcy is a fierce zombie killer, yet the epitome of upper class prejudice. As the zombie outbreak intensifies, they must swallow their pride and join forces on the blood-soaked battlefield in order to conquer the undead once and for all.
