65 minutesWelcome to the space of oddities. A selection of shorts that will make you think WTF!
Welcome, dear people, to the space of oddities! With evil and uncomfortable laughter, Kaboom presents a sumptuous selection that fully embraces the weird and the wild, the trippy and the twisted, the mad and the mental. Be baffled, yell WTF, cry with laughter ... Or just cry. This year's protagonists in the Bonkers selection include (amongst others): a farmer's bestiality, Barbie's climax, a Jewish farmhouse where slapstick reigns, a hilarious and gory murder mystery, motorized mayhem, a fascist with a hammer, a curious guy who presses all the buttons, a cat on an audition, Tasmanian backyard critters, and four people in an elevator!
Showing in this program
Elevator Alone
Inspired by everyday life and by the difference in people's behavior when they are alone, in contrast to the socially acceptable behavior that individuals adopt when in public space and especially in the confined and always awkward setting of an elevator.
Go More Faster
Three interlocking vignettes of motorized mayhem.
KLIMAX
In KLIMAX, we explore the inner world of female lust, in order to redefine images of the female sex, already negatively connoted, and thus create new aesthetic associations of femininity. Our main protagonist, Barbie, goes through a process of transformation. She emerges like Alice in Wonderland into a magical world, a place of temptation and joy. It is a fantastic place that makes her change little by little to get rid of her stiffness and repression. Klimax is supposed to show how unique and beautiful every single woman's body is.
Patrick et les Boutons
"Discouraged by waiting for his coffee, Patrick enters a curious room filled with buttons.
Transported by the music, he is unaware of the consequences of each button he presses."
