OBEX played Fantasia: Albert Birney’s strange quest leads through a mix of lo-fi media, high fantasy, and surreal horror. A meditation on 8-bit nostalgia, and the competing importance of touching grass, it’s funny, sweet, and kind. It reminded me of I SAW THE TV GLOW. Plus there’s a cute dog!

what’s your favorite film with fewer than 50k logs on Letterboxd? 👀

I’m going with @albertbirney.bsky.social and @kentuckeraudley.bsky.social’s STRAWBERRY MANSION. It’s rare to find a film that radiates as much creativity and positivity as this one does. Their first film, SYLVIO, is also a treat.

Tux and Fanny!

Wild game, full of exploration and accessible puzzles, wrapped in a dizzying array of games within games and jokes within jokes in an explosion of creativity and joy.

And next Wednesday at the Wrigleyville Drafthouse is SYLVIO!

This is the most charming film about a gorilla finding small-town fame as a feature on community access TV.

Directors @kentuckeraudley.bsky.social and @albertbirney.bsky.social did good work here.

OBEX playing soon in Chicago

2. Albert Birney's OBEX is such a potent, imaginative film about loneliness and isolation, and a beautifully rendered picture that continues to work and work upon you until it becomes lodged in your heart.

Lynch, Eggers, Cronenberg... 🎞️

Zero in on the connections between these iconic films and @sundance.org smash OBEX.

A bizarre genre mix, this "ingenius" indie - scored by Josh Dibb of Animal Collective - is your next big film discovery 🔍 sff.org.au/program/event/obex/
