Durante una rara visita alla lavanderia condominiale, la sfaticata Mary si imbatte nel suo nuovo vicino, il quale sostiene di avere un pene extraterrestre. Incuriosita, gli chiede di mostrare l\u2019attrezzatura. Un paio di cicli di centrifuga pi\u00f9 tardi, Mary non \u00e8 pi\u00f9 la stessa. Scopre di ospitare in s\u00e9 un parassita tenace come una tenia, un’entit\u00e0 che la divora dall’interno e la trasforma in un grembo mostruoso che sputa acido intergalattico. Parente lontano delle prime opere di Peter Jackson, questo fenomeno body horror in salsa aliena ha fatto rovesciare lo stomaco a tutti gli spettatori del Sundance Film Festival.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

During a rare visit to the communal laundry room, slacker Mary runs into her new neighbor, who claims to have an extraterrestrial penis. Intrigued, she asks to see the equipment. A couple of\u00a0 rinse cycles later she\u2019s no longer the same Mary. She discovers she now carries a parasite as tenacious as a tapeworm, an entity that devours her from the inside out and transforms her into a monstrous womb that spews out intergalactic acid. A distant relative of the early works of Peter Jackson, this alien body horror phenomenon made everyone\u2019s stomach turn at the Sundance Film Festival.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u00ab<\/span>Mum, I\u2019m Alien Pregnant<\/span><\/i> \u00e8 una storia in parte autobiografica, solo minimamente abbellita da un pene extraterrestre. La storia \u00e8 nata quando vivevo ancora con mia madre, a trent’anni, e scaturisce dalla mia esperienza di genitore e dalla mia partecipazione, in qualche modo, agli orrori della gravidanza, sia quelli biologici che quelli inflitti alle donne dall’indifferenza codificata dei medici. Affrontare queste prove a stretto contatto con mia madre ha rafforzato sia il mio amore per lei sia il mio desiderio di condividere il trauma e la catarsi di tutta l’esperienza con il pubblico. Inoltre, il nostro film \u00e8 ambientato in una piccola citt\u00e0 della Nuova Zelanda, dove, in assenza di un’industria e di istruzione, prospera una cultura bogan: questa \u00e8 la cultura che amiamo di pi\u00f9, la cultura in cui scegliamo di vivere, ridere e procreare.<\/span>\u00bb

\u00abMum, I\u2019m Alien Pregnant<\/i> is a somewhat autobiographical story, only minimally embellished with an extraterrestrial penis. The story was conceived while still living with my mother in my 30s and born out of my experience of becoming a parent and participating somewhat in the horrors of pregnancy – both the biological ones and the ones inflicted on women through the codified indifference of doctors. Living through these ordeals in close proximity to my mum deepened both my love for her and my desire to share the trauma and catharsis of the whole experience with an audience.Furthermore our movie is set in small-town New Zealand where a bogan culture thrives in the absence of industry and education – this is the culture for which we have the most love, the culture in which we choose to live, laugh and breed.<\/span>\u00bb

THUNDERLIPS<\/strong>
THUNDERLIPS \u00e8 un progetto collettivo creato nel 2013 da Sean Wallace e Jordan Windsor come pseudonimo per la loro collaborazione. Vogliosi di creare, i due hanno trascorso anni a ideare e dirigere video musicali e cortometraggi con pochissimi mezzi, ma con tanta passione e ingegno tanto da ottenere sei Vimeo Staff Picks e da essere proiettati al British Film Institute, all’AFI Fest e al Festival du Court M\u00e9trage di Clermont-Ferrand. Desiderosi di cimentarsi con i lungometraggi, i due hanno scritto una sceneggiatura originale intitolata <\/span>The Golden Years of Wayne Patterson<\/span><\/i>, che \u00e8 arrivata alla seconda fase di selezione del Sundance Development Track 2019. <\/span>Mum, I\u2019m Alien Pregnant<\/span><\/i> \u00e8 il loro film d’esordio.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

THUNDERLIPS<\/strong>
<\/span>THUNDERLIPS is a multi-person identity created by Sean Wallace and Jordan Windsor in 2013 as a moniker for their collaboration. Hungry to create, the duo spent years conceiving and directing music videos and short films with little to no money but so much passion and ingenuity that they\u2019ve collected six Vimeo Staff Picks and their work has been screened at the British FilmInstitute, AFI Fest and the Clermont-Ferrand Festival du Court M\u00e9trage. Itching to make feature films, THUNDERLIPS wrote an original screenplay called <\/span>The Golden Years of Wayne Patterso<\/span><\/i>n which made it into the second round of consideration for the Sundance Development Track 2019. <\/span>Mum, I\u2019m Alien Pregnant<\/span><\/i> is their debut film.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
