Alien Extravaganza

A queer, colourful, experimental galaxy of new filmmaking. Join us for a voyage into alien aesthetics, cosmic glamour, genderfluid and pluralistic futures. Curated by Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian (Doppelgängers³, Frameline48) in partnership with the London Short Film Festival.

Short films showing in this program:

Arctic Diva

Between Mars and Earth

11 mins

During the Christmas holidays, a mysterious extra-terrestrial force bursts into the life of a suburban couple on the brink of divorce. However, neither of them notices this otherworldly presence, so this entity will just have to live with them in their grey, sad, and lifeless home, watching their relationship finally disintegrate.

But wait… there’s more!

3 mins

This is a short excerpt from Kialy Tihngang's larger art piece Lean Six Sigma (2023), which looks at opulence as a display of oligarchic overindulgence from a privileged few, distorting and multiplying the shapes of extractive industrial machinery, and the interior aesthetics of dictators’ homes and private jets.

The Last Story on Earth

Facing angry protesters, a determined drag queen does her best to finish a fairy tale reading at the local library — but an alien invasion puts her skills to extraordinary new tests.
