WEEK 3 | CYBER-BORN FILM
SATURDAY 8 DECEMBER
The revolution will be downloaded… “Cyber-born film is here”. DestFest is championing technological creativity in film-makers, who push the boundaries of tradition by embracing DIY-production and self-distribution via the internet. “Cyber-born” feature Four-Eyed Monsters has lead the way - a stunning example of digital filmmaking and the creativity online culture has afforded filmmakers and artists.
FOUR EYED MONSTERS
USA | 2005 | 85 mins | Directors: Arin Crumley, Susan Buice
A tale of love and romance in the internet age… Quite possibly the best film about the perils of dating since Eternal Sunshine Of the Spotless Mind, Four-Eyed Monsters is a beautiful and often-times funny contemporary masterpiece.
Twenty-something artists Arin and Susan meet online and fall in love. Only they have a few problems communicating and decide one way to overcome them is to make a film about their relationship while they’re in the thick of it. The result is a delicate pop fusion of art, design, narrative filmmaking and digital style. Plus it’s very funny, moving and superbly poetic.
Four-Eyed Monsters is an online phenomenon that has totally re-shaped traditional film production and distribution – it’s an amazing achievement and DestFest will celebrate it with a very special screening at Carriageworks, followed by a dynamic panel discussion. Don’t miss this one-off chance to see this great film!
