Gut Instinct - a Film by Doug Dillaman + Live Music Performance by Kyle Bruckmann

Admission: $10-20, sliding scale (discount for members)

A post-apocalyptic found footage instructional film on acid, Gut Instinct blends plausible science fiction, outrageous science fact, black comedy and intense visual freakouts in service of a singular cinematic trip.

After alien microbes with a thirst for dopamine invaded our guts, bringing about the collapse of civilization and the death of 93% of humanity, life has been...less than ideal. But no longer! Interself's revolutionary Gut Instinct Audiovisual Purification Programme will free your mind - and your guts - forever!

Making its international premiere at Shapeshifters direct from New Zealand, this special interactive screening of Gut Instinct includes an introduction and post-screening Q&A with director Doug Dillaman, as well as a brief pre-show collection of shorts and an electronic music performance by Bay Area composer/performer, educator and New Music specialist Kyle Bruckmann whose music features prominently in the film.
