U.S. Premiere! In 2017 Ulli Lommel, the inimitable Fassbinder actor, Warhol collaborator and prolific genre auteur, completed his 64th feature film. At age of 72, he was ready to unveil a supreme late-period masterpiece: America - Land of the FreeKS. Tragically, Lommel passed away before his personal travelogue—cruising around Hollywood and beyond in a limousine, profiling an eclectic cross section of personalities, including gamers, political extremists and sexual trailblazers—would premiere at the 2018 Berlin Film Festival. Updating Jacopetti’s “mondo” genre for the age of Kim Kardashian West and Donald Trump, with a splash of Tocquevillian observation, the German Lommel, adorned in a baby blue Mickey Mouse leather racing jacket, paints a chaotic portrait of his adopted country in the throes of a nervous breakdown. Rejecting a purely didactic or moralist condemnation of the present, America - Land of the FreeKS comes from a place of absurdism and humanism, infused with the unique wisdom of one of the 20th/21st centuries biggest filmmaking freeKS. Introduced by Michael M. Bilandic and Gina Telaroli. One-of-a-kind, mystery Lommel Zine available at screening.

Salvation Machine: A Mass of Abwoon Dominus unfolds as a surreal procession through pastoral fields into a shadowed forest, where a ritualistic mass explores the gravitational pull of hierarchy and the dissolution of individuals into systems larger than themselves. The film centers on the enigmatic Salvation Machine —a cipher onto which the congregation projects obedience, meaning, and devotion. The congregants move not by coercion but by the inertia of participation, raising the question of whether free will can exist within pre-existing structures. The film resists resolution: the congregation does not escape but is absorbed, enacting a cycle of submission that oscillates between seduction and command. Artist talk and Q&A following screening.

Upon his death in 2013 at the age of 82, writer/director Jess Franco – hailed by The Guardian as “a dedicated exponent of weird sex, shocking sadism and surreal horror, and one of the cinema's great individualists” – left an astonishing legacy of over 180 films that Sight & Sound says “occupy a liminal terrain between exploitation cinema and the avant-garde, playing with the porous structure of dream and nightmare, indeed the nature of reality itself.” For his follow-up to VAMPYROS LESBOS, writer/director Jess Franco delivered perhaps his most twisted shocker of the 70s.
