director’s spotlight

the survival of kindness

BlackWoman is caught in a cage in the middle of the hot desert, left there to die. This is the beginning of a bizarre odyssey through a world dominated by decay and illness. Dream and reality mix ominously in Rolf de Heer's dystopian nightmare. Fantasy Filmfest dedicates to THE SURVIVAL OF KINDNESS this year's Director's Spotlight. This parable about the abysses of human nature burns deep into your memory with its dizzying shots and terrifying soundtrack, and feels like a punch in the gut that will leave you nauseous for a long time.
