The Fourth Dimension
Screenings Fri, Apr 20 6:30 / Kabuki, Sat, Apr 21 10:00 / Kabuki
Created under a “manifesto” whose directives would make Lars von Trier shudder, this three-part film might look on paper like an exercise in forced hipness. Fortunately, its directors—Harmony Korine (USA), Alexsei Fedorchenko (Russia) and Jan Kwiecinski (Poland)—prove innovative and just insane enough to make The Fourth Dimension an exhilarating experiment. Working under orders tall, whimsical (according to the manifesto, a stuffed animal must make an appearance no matter what) and surreal, Korine’s Lotus Community Workshop drops Val Kilmer in an alternate-universe existence as a BMX-riding motivational speaker with a fanny pack. Fedorchenko’s Russia-set Chronoeye spins the tale of a grumpy inventor whose noisy neighbor interrupts his time-travel experiments. And Kwiecinski's eerily beautiful Fawns follows a quartet of friends as they prance through an empty Polish town seemingly unconcerned about the deadly flood about to overtake them. The result is three wildly diverse settings and scenarios, and three excitingly creative filmmakers on the rise.
