This is the show you want ! [...] Cavalcade of Perversions, the sleaziest show on earth !" From
those words by our pervy-mentor John Waters in his iconic MULTIPLE MANIACS, here comes a
freak show of international shorts !

In this part of our demented spectacle, you are entering unholy grounds ! Through space and
time, otherworlds’ divinities, transcendental experimentations have been hand picked for you in A
LEWDLY RELIGIOUS GLARE !

From immortal time travellers in Michael Kratochvil’s SWEET MARY, WHERE DID YOU
GO?, to an experimental desktop film full of metaphysical questions with Ryley O'Byrne’s
IMMACULATE VIRTUAL, and all the way down to the flora-hell of Benjamin Roberds’ YOUR
HOUSEPLANTS ARE SCREAMING, dip your feet into the glory of madness ! You’ll be navigating in
between the world of the living and the dead within Lina Laraki’s mysterious HALVES THROUGH
NIGHT and Vanja Victor Kabir Tognola’s DANZAMATTA ! You’ll be happily indoctrinated into culty
beliefs with docu-fiction Ananth Subramaniam’s THE HOUSE OF BRICK AND STONE and the
alien-sect of Alex Fofonoff’s WHILE MORTALS SLEEP ! Want more batshit crazy stuff? Try a bit of
35mm James Quinn & Vincent Albarano’s IVORY WAVE, or a few bites of the most insane children
TV show in Joe Badon’s THE BLOOD OF THE DINOSAURS ! And don’t forget to drop by at Fredrik
