A CYBER NOIR WITCH HUNT
Following our retrospective on Antero Alli, we're proud to screen another picture from his poetic imagination. TRAGOS continues in the footsteps of THE DRIVETIME and its anxious judgments towards the dial-up tech of the late 90s. Centered around a virtual reality server's deadly potential after the mysterious death of technopagan Vivika (producer/art director/music composer Thia Alli), this shot-on-miniDV mystery was impressively produced in-house with a $7000 budget – further establishing Antero and Thia Alli as modest adepts in DIY narrative filmmaking.
One of the most "obscure FMV game" movies ever made!
