H.R. Giger's Sanctuary

Director: Nick Brandestini
Filmmaker in person
North American PREMIERE. This rare film portrait is comprised of interviews with an artist who usually finds them anathema:  H. R. Giger, renowned Swiss artist of Fantastic Realism, visionary master of the airbrush, inventor of "biomechanics," and Academy Award- winning designer of ALIEN. As he conducts us on a tour of his Museum Bar (what a splendid concept!), Giger talks openly about his fascination with the morbid, his fame and cult following, his fears and nightmares, and his greatest accomplishments. (2007, 18 min., in German with English subtitles.) NOTE: Please be aware that this film contains some graphic graphic material, most notably Giger's (in)famous album cover for The Dead Kennedys.
