Premiering to acclaim at SXSW, Annapurna Siriam's modern cult classic is a sex-fuelled, neo-camp romp through Trashtown, USA.

A lush 16mm fever dream that reimagines The Fool’s Journey of the Tarot through the story of AP - a sanguine young woman seeking salvation from a curse. AP is promised by not one but multiple psychics that - for a cool $1000 and the sacrifice of a baby lamb - it can be lifted. So, she makes money the only way she knows how, scootering her way deeper into the night, into the uncouth underbelly of Trashtown.

Dark, irreverent, and sexy, AP stumbles upon new characters (feat. an unforgettable appearance from Heated Rivalry's François Arnaud) and absurd situations, each more unhinged than the last, as she winds her way towards the inevitable. Fucktoys is a campy romp that explores the intersection of intimacy, exploitation, and class in a pre-millenium alternate universe.

"has more life and vision in its pinky finger than most movies have in their entire body" - Sam Bodrojan, Letterboxd

"Sriram [stakes] her claim as a filmmaker to watch, with a distinctive voice that mashes up rockabilly aesthetics with Tarot mysticism and an incredible dig at James Franco." - Esther Zuckermann, Indiewire
