SCI-FI - Landlocked
DIY SCI-FI: A celebration of speculative cinema made on a shoestring budget yet filled with expansive vision and inventiveness. AUSTRALIAN PREMIERES
LANDLOCKED (Dir: Paul Owens; US; 74 mins) Summoned to his soon-to-be demolished childhood home, Mason discovers an old VHS camera that can see into the past, inspiring him to record as many memories as possible before the doomed house is destroyed.
Utilizing the director’s actual home movies and casting real life family members to play fictionalized versions of themselves, LandLocked is a pure auteur’s vision; combining a narrative structure and documentary aesthetics with horror and sci-fi, director Paul Owens has crafted the most strikingly original debut feature since Donnie Darko.
