“The Devil Had Other Plans”

London, UK - Wow. This film is unlike anything else you’ll see here. Using “Night of the Loving Dead” as a springboard, Guli Silberstein has created something deeply eerie and unsettling. From the submission: “It's my gut reaction to the Coronavirus apocalypse, made in the first weeks of isolation. My inner feelings, finding a reflection in the classic Zombie public-domain film 'Night of the Living Dead' from 1968. By a mix of processing techniques and sound work, a semi-abstract stream of consciousness was created, echoing fear, paranoia and suspicion in the time of pandemic. Bringing back horror-film envisions of catastrophe, referencing ideas of 'home', 'outside', 'body', 'other', and extreme mental states, giving form to the dark forces bubbling under the chaos, and the craziness of it all.”
