Hugs & Kisses

A film about men. And hugs. And kisses. A new film by Marc Richter aka Neue Deutsche Kunst who's been working tirelessly on arcane new films since winning the MuVi-Award at renowned Shortfilmfestival Oberhausen, turning so-called artificial intelligence on its head. Richter's video works are highly influenced by the writings of feminist writer Angela Carter (specifically "The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman") hallucinating a world of human snails and snail-like humans, human mushrooms and mushrooms with human skin, hermaphrodites and men without genitals…..chimeric protagonists performing useless, pointless, sisyphean tasks.
