Beyond the Black Rainbow

OTTAWA PREMIERE | OFFICIAL SELECTION, FANTASTIC FEST 2011

Set in the dystopian future of 1983, the feature debut from Canadian writer/director Cosmatos — which centres on Elena, a telekinetic patient/prisoner of the Arboria Institute — has invited comparisons to Kubrick, Cronenberg, Carpenter and Lynch. “Simply unlike anything explored before in feature-length film… confounding, challenging, enrapturing and frustrating.” (Exclaim)
