Shorts Program 5 - Mindbenders

Running time: 110 mins

Our darkest, strangest, most confounding thoughts often come to us in the middle of the night, some of them are a part of this Mindbenders program. Taking elements of suspicious fantasy, science fiction, horror, and thrillers, and mixing them up with avant-garde experimentation, or simply a filmmaker's most devilish fever dreams. Films cover areas such as radical futurism, journeys into the unknown, and confrontation of demons, both literal and potentially figurative. Every moment in Mindbenders asks a question, and then leaves us alone in the dark to figure out the answers.
