Unfortunately, nightmares too often become reality, and this year's Nightmares program is dedicated to those that stem from patriarchal ideology. From the exploitation of working-class women in a 1980s sweatshop to the contemporary horrors of ‘hazing’ in the name of male bonding, from the enactment of male fantasies by a cam girl to a dystopian future marked by food shortages and androcentric privilege, these four films are here to shake up and provoke. With ingenuity, obsession, and more than a few drops of menstrual blood, they fuel a powerful counter-current, aiming to awaken the collective consciousness from this nightmare. And to get you in the mood, there's Vienna Shots again!
