Here’s a little info on upcoming Fantastic Fest Presents titles:

A SPACE PROGRAM is a radically DIY fictional space-documentary about a trip to Mars – "think Michel Gondry directing Carl Sagan's Cosmos with John Carpenter writing the script." Watch as artist/filmmaker Tom Sachs and his team build an entire space program from scratch. They're guided by the philosophy of bricolage: creating and constructing from available yet limited resources. They ultimately send two female astronauts to Mars in search of the answer to humankind’s ultimate question… are we alone?

One of the great lost masterpieces of Japanese animation, never before officially released in the U.S., BELLADONNA OF SADNESS is a mad, swirling, psychedelic light-show of medieval tarot-card imagery with horned demons, haunted forests and La Belle Dame Sans Merci, equal parts J.R.R. Tolkien and gorgeous, explicit Gustav Klimt-influenced eroticism.

The cinematic documentary experience of the year, ALMOST HOLY follows the unbelievable life and work of Gennadiy Mokhnenko, a pastor from Mariupol, Ukraine who seeks to help the youth of his community by forcibly abducting homeless drug-addicted kids from the streets of his city and restraining them at his private home which was converted into a makeshift rehabilitation center. With an astonishingly beautiful, frightening and expressive visual style, ALMOST HOLY captures the incredible story of a man going to extreme measures to do what he thinks is right. Is Gennadiy a hero for the lives he's saved? Or is he a crazed vigilante who has gone too far? And will he be able to achieve his goals before Ukraine is engulfed in even more tragedy and war?

So be sure to join us for those and all future Fantastic Fest Presents screenings at your neighborhood Alamo Drafthouse, and enter for a chance to win a free ride to Movie Valhalla, known in wider circles as Fantastic Fest 2016!
