This year’s effort celebrates the 40th anniversary of SIFF and we wanted to covey the celebratory moments that the milestone represents. Cinescape encompasses the idea that SIFF films are an escape from reality, transporting audiences to other worlds and introducing them to new ideas. This film is set in the fictional “SIFForty Laboratories” where futuristic scientists transport willing subjects into alternate realities inspired by iconic scenes from films that have played at SIFF. Through these otherworldly experiments, subjects have out-of-body experiences that allow them to live out vignettes ranging from “La Vie en Rose” to “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”
