UNDERGROUND ABSOLUTE FICTION

(In Development)
Screened as a Short Film at Rumble Theatre's Tremors 2020 Festival

A novice filmmaker struggles to shoot and befriend a scrappy queer punk band amidst the rising protest movements of 2020 Poland, including the Polish Stonewall and Womens' Strike.

​

Rooted in Anais' attempts to reconcile their Polish heritage with the deeply fraught situation of queer people in Poland, UAF asks whether identity can bridge cultural divides, or if it's a site of Western imperialism.
