Shorts Program # 8

Flux

‘Flux’ is an experimental short film and music video by UK artist DFTCNT. 'Flux' delves into a human mind drowning in external chaos and inner crisis. Lost in a surreal, consumer driven world where clickbait tribalism and identity games dictate, the characters are left to vent a collective wave of simmering rage and collective turmoil. As the drum beat rises and mob war unfolds, an urgent new energy ascends as the final catharsis awaits.

Tremors: Making Perfection

In 1989, Universal Pictures greenlit a low budget monster movie.

With a tiny budget, an untested director and rubber monsters.

And shot outdoors in the freezing winds and baking sun of the desert. IT TANKED. That movie was called Tremors.

30 years later Universal have released the 7th movie in its franchise. WHY?

TREMORS: MAKING PERFECTION explores the production, reception and enduring cult appeal of Tremors.

We revisit the breath-taking locations for Tremors at the foot of Mount Whitney, California and lift the lid on the torturous production process, it’s dismal success at the box office and how through changing technology, and with a killer script at its core, it miraculously found its devoted and obsessive audience.

With new and exclusive interviews with Kevin Bacon, Michael Gross and all the key creators technicians and execs involved in its production we uncover what the film ultimately means to the ‘Tremors family’, some 30 years later.
