Battleship grey buildings, skies and uniforms overwhelm the opening minutes of Undergods as two men go about their job of collecting bodies in a destitute landscape of hollowed out abodes and apartments. Striking up a conversation the film shifts to a couple in a plain flat presumably not too far away from the aforementioned ‘dead zone’. It’s a smooth segue (as they all are) in this very original and disturbing debut feature from Chino Moya.
Ruth (Hayley Carmichael) and Ron (Michael Gould) are called on by Harry (Ned Dennehy) who says he can’t get into his flat on another floor. He slowly worms his way into the couple’s lives taking liberties along the way, reaching a conclusion that leads a father and daughter. The former a storyteller of a strange tale about a merchant (Eric Godon), an engineer (Jan Bijvoet) with an idea to sell, the merchant’s daughter (Tanya Reynolds) loved by her father and her lover Johann (Tadgh Murphy) leading an unusual conclusion

This visionary debut (from the director of St. Vincent s Digital Witness music video) combines elements of other dystopian classics into a parable about a power shift that leaves modern man in the cold.

The world of
Undergods is not a pretty one. Buildings are hollowed out and decrepit, the grime radiates off the streets, the sky is always a doom-and-gloom shade of grey. Then of course there’s the film’s welcome to the viewer: an introduction to the less-pleasant-looking – and probably smelling – K (Myers) and Z (Röhrig), partners in crime who drink gasoline and make a living collecting and selling dead bodies off the street. Not an ideal living but a normalized means of survival, which in this world is what’s most important.
K and Z are just the start of the eclectic inhabitants in this dreary European dystopia. The sort-of-anthology structure invites you into the lives of a collection of denizens, their stories not exactly intertwining, but more like each one passing the baton to the next. Each story finds its subjects contending with their increasingly cruel surroundings in vignettes that anchor them in ideas of greed, capital, and violence.
The wee societal health crisis we had for the last 14 months or so may have forcibly slowed many arts organizations down, in some unfortunate cases killing them off outright. But SF Indiefest has only sped up, the many film/video showcases under its umbrella not just going forward as usual (albeit in online form), but adding additional events, plus one brand-new festival (the just-finished Livable Planet).
This weekend brings yet more where all that came from in the form of
, a second edition of this adjunct to Another Hole in the Head, Indiefest’s usual place for genre-oriented content.
Last year’s first Warped Dimension was billed as the first-ever film festival presented entirely on the Zoom, meaning it was streamed live (rather than its content being available throughout a longer window of time). This three-day sophomore session offers independent horror, sci-fi, fantasy, action-adventure, thrillers, comedy, animation, experimental, music video and documentary titles,
