Cybergrime (2023)

Cybergrime is a disgusting erotic nightmare lovingly extracted from the fiber optic cable lodged in the slimiest depths of your brain. Oversaturated and underexposed: 8 twisted short films plus original glitch art form this breakneck 62-minute collection of hypersleazy technophilic homo-depravity.

Curated by Henry Hanson from Chicago's Full Spectrum Features, Cybergrime contains:

Annihilator* - Kyle Mangione-Smith (USA, 2022)

A nihilistic young man develops an obsession with snuff films on the internet. With few prospects in his increasingly bleak life, his obsession begins to take on a new dimension: a desire to star in his own.

A.I. Mama* - Asuka Lin (USA, 2020)

In this post-cyberpunk Super 8 film, Kei feeds their own diary entries into a homemade AI in an attempt to reconnect with their lost mother.

1-888-5-BLUE-YOU - Eric Griffin & Jake McClellan (USA, 2021)

Witness the tragic decline of a burlesque star turned phone sex operator named Monster Girl. Call 1-888-5-BLUE-YOU…she will actually pick up, seriously.

S.I.D.S. - Louise Weard (Canada, 2018)

After being denied an orchiectomy by their doctor, The Patient turns to a back-alley procedure at a seedy motel. Unfortunately, their testicles won't be as easy to control as they thought.

Un PD avec PC - Roland Lauth (Germany, 2021)

An experiment in abstract pornography rendered in glittery, crisp, mind-bending 3D animation.

MonsterDykë - Kaye Adelaide (Canada, 2021)

A slimy 16mm puppetry romp that dares to ask the question: what if Pygmalion was a goth trans lesbian?

Black Pill - Jessi Gaston (USA, 2020)

A NEET with a wretched fetish fulfills their wildest dreams with the help of a camgirl and a baggie of mystery pills they bought online.

Pure Filth* - Ty Williams (USA, 2018)

A nightcore-esque fever dream of imagined 2D spaces and shock site video titles.
