The Underworld (2019) by Jann Clavadetscher / 16mm / 17mins / Ireland

Synopsis

This hallucinatory trip through the psychedelic recesses of science fiction begins in the flickering bowels of the earth. An explorer played by Cillian Roche undergoes a bizarre mutation in which cinema itself might possibly play a part. Clavadetscher’s gorgeous 16mm colours and dazzlingly intense editing are underscored by a characteristic lightness of touch.
