Hyperlinks: 0s & 1s // Jobe'z World (Double Feature)

A digital slacker DOUBLE FEATURE STRAIGHT FROM AMERICA'S UNDERGROUND - a DIY proto-desktop film and the lo-fi/no budget answer to Good Time. 0S & 1S _A SLACKER’S LIFE IS THROWN INTO DISARRAY WHEN HE LOSES HIS LAPTOP, IN THIS PROTO-DESKTOP FILM FROM THE DIRECTOR OF _SPREE_ AND _WOBBLE PALACE_._ __ James Pongo has a cushy job, a busy social life and an alluring love interest, all the click of a mouse away. But when he wakes up after a night of reckless partying to discover that his computer is missing, James' hyper-connected reality takes a humiliating nosedive. Pre-empting the rise of desktop cinema, incorporating animated elements into its contemporaries’ more formally pure aesthetic, Kotlyarenko’s debut feature is a unique, prescient and above-all hilarious look at the ways in which technology has irrevocably trans/disfigured our lives. “Kotlyarenko sees the ubiquity of the computer screen as a chance to redefine the language of cinema.” - Dylan Schenker, Vice Directed by Eugene Kotlyarenko | 83 minutes | 15+ | International Premiere Country: United States of America Year: 2011 Language: English ~~~~~ JOBE'Z WORLD A ROLLERBLADING DRUG DEALER DISCOVERS THE POWER OF VIRAL VIDEO IN THIS THROWBACK TO VHS-ERA TRASH CINEMA. Jobe (Jason Grisell), a mysterious middle-aged rollerblader, spends his days selling drugs to an eclectic mix of downtown weirdos. When he gets the call to make a special delivery to his favorite actor (Theodore Bouloukos) he’s completely starstruck. What starts off as an exciting encounter with an A-list celebrity quickly devolves into a nightmarishly comedic trainwreck. “Jobe’z World was obviously made on a shoestring; nonetheless, it features an independent-cinema all-star team of performers and crew members who’ve worked on a large and loosely linked series of films over the past decade…” - Richard Brody, The New Yorker Directed by Michael M. Bilandic | 67 minutes | 15+ | Australian Premiere Country: United States of America Year: 2018 Language: English
