Canary

Running time: 90 mins

"Canary is to biotech what Primer is to time travel. It's a cerebral, tantalizing fantasy?[The director's] talent shows through this film in every aspect." -- Richard von Busack, Silicon Valley Metro

Director Alejandro Adams (Around the Bay, Cinequest 2008) once again creates one of the most uniquely visionary films of the year?an intellectually daring dystopian thriller set in a not-so-alternate universe in which organ harvesting is commonplace.

Canary Industries, a futuristic company in the ?organ donor business,? repossesses transplanted organs from people who don?t take care of them via a mute redistribution specialist, Carla, who stalks unsuspecting citizens of every socioeconomic stripe. Positioned alongside footage from an investigative rag-tag news crew of the company and its questionable mission, Carla?s omnipresence both haunts and excites in an avant-garde film that dares to examine the collapse of mankind into absurdity.
