Short film FUCKKKYOUUU, written and directed by Australian Eddie Alcazar with music by Flying Lotus, has been selected 2016 Sundance Film Festival.
The Sundance Film Festival takes place from January 21-31 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah.
Over the course of its more than 30-year history, the festival has launched films including Whiplash, Boyhood, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Fruitvale Station, Little Miss Sunshine, sex, lies, and videotape, Reservoir Dogs, and Napoleon Dynamite.
The film, which is a cross between a short and a music video, follows a lonely girl, with the ability to travel, who finds love and comfort by connecting with her past self.
Eventually faced with rejection she struggles with her identity and gender, and as time folds onto itself only one of them can remain.
Eddie Alcazar said, “We are so excited to bring FUCKKKYOUUU to Park City and cannot wait for the Sundance Film Festival audience to see it!”
Previous films by Eddie Alcazar include TAPIA (2014, distributed by HBO) and the upcoming feature films Johnny and 0000.
Flying Lotus has received a Grammy nomination for “Never Catch Me (feat. Kendrick Lamar)” in the category of Best Dance Recording.
