SUNDAY, MARCH 9th - 5 PM (Live Q&A)
THURSDAY, MARCH 27th - 10PM
Ikar is a Croatian soldier who’s Catholic faith reaches a breaking point during a vivid hallucination while serving. As he tries to rebuild his life post-service in Oakland, California, his neighbors take interest in him -- changing the trajectory of all three lives forever.
Another collaboration, this time with lead actor Jakob Bokulich, as a response to the rising islamophobia in America post-9/11 -- HYSTERIA predates the five alarm warnings rung in recent psychological-faith smashes like Schrader's FIRST REFORMED. Stunning in its dreamlike quality yet grounded by the chemistry between Anastasia Vega and Atosa Babaoff, cast as the Iranian sisters who live next to Ikar– HYSTERIA is a chilling, surrealist fable forewarning the perils of religious fundamentalism wherever it may lurk. In person Q&A with Jakob Bokulich!
Each screening will be accompanied by the short DRIVING MYSELF THERE.
