REALITY (RÉALITÉ) World Cinema

Quentin Dupieux, director of such singular films as RUBBER and WRONG, returns to AFI FEST with REALITY, a bizarre tapestry of the absurd. In this world of dream logic, a cameraman gets to direct his first film, but the executive who green lights the project has one condition: the scream in the film must win the Oscar® for Best Scream. That same executive is watching dailies from a documentary about a little girl named Reality, who finds a VHS tape inside the body of a warthog. The contents of the tape begin to warp the time and space of everything around it. Meanwhile, Jon Heder has an insatiable itching while hosting a culinary show. A cinematic attack on the inside of your head, REALITY is a strange mix of the surreal, the unsettling and the hilarious.
