A SELECTION OF HYPERPOP SHORTS TO MAKE YOU FEEL ALIVE IN THIS DEADENED WORLD
A selection of mind-melting, hyperpop cinema with the sexy death drive from the swirling hellish waters of North America. These movies are at the cutting edge of being vulnerable in the digitally mediated age, all with a jittery queer & candy spirit. A session to shock your nerves and leave you floating the rest of the day.

STEAL MY LIFE (2026, dir. Annie Wren, 11 mins)

TICKLE TICKLE (2024, dir. Christian Zakharchuk, 5 mins)

MY SECRET BOYFRIEND DIED IN A MASS SHOOTING (2026, dir. Kalil Haddad, 6 mins)
“The latest iteration of his porno provocations, Haddad distorts still pornographic images of a young, gay duo, suggesting a tale of love ending in tragedy. The images capture a certain tenderness, hard core shots brought to life by romantic soundscapes.” (Wilde Davis, Los Angeles Filmforum)
PLEASE LOVE ME (2024, dir. Lea Rose Sebastianis, 10 mins)
An ecstatic ‘one-reeler’ following the last days of a tap-dancer before her final performance.
