Film program, AT 2023, 82 min., int. OV

By: Norbert Pfaffenbichler

With: Stefan Erber, Veronika Susanna Harb

As the third part of our opening film triad, we are proud to present “2551.02: The Orgy of the Damned”, a hardcore, provocative piece of cinema that’s not for the faint of heart. David Lynch, Gaspar Noé, Jodorowsky, John Waters …, there’s a dash of them all in Norbert Pfaffenbichler‘s grotesque, dystopian and disgusting vision of humanity reduced to its basest desires and depraved fantasies. Told without dialogue, this mesmerizing journey follows Apeman in a subterranean world full of extreme violence and shocking sexual acts as he looks for his kidnapped friend child. Along the way, he meets Woman and the quest gets utterly more twisted at every turn. This film certainly isn’t for everyone, and those who get through it may be left as speechless as the inhabitants of Pfaffenbichler’s world.
