Hacking at Leaves

Documentary Film, AT 2024, DCP, 108 min, eOmdU

A genuine fake American movie by and with the fake genuine (Lower) Austrian filmmaker Johannes Grenzfurthner. Dressed in a hazmat suit, the forward-thinking hacker and media jack-of-all-trades awaits the nuclear end of all things as he attempts to decode the colonial past of the United States. At the center: a tinkerer’s workshop in Durango, Colorado. But then Uncle Sam interferes in the movie’s production and things get out of hand.
