Fringe Flicks: Reality+ & ‘Altered Selves’ Short Films

Synopsis

Synopsis for Reality+

What if you could upgrade your personality — forever? In Reality+, a dark sci-fi satire from The Substance director Coralie Fargeat, one man undergoes a high-tech identity replacement to become the ideal version of himself. But perfection has its costs. Funny, unsettling, and stylishly dystopian, Reality+ explores our obsession with self-improvement in an age of artificial everything.

Additional Info

Our July screening, Altered Selves, explores identity, transformation, and perception — from ritual horror and neurodivergent monologues to surreal detours and a film written by pigeons.
