Eug-apalooza: The screenlife films of Eugene Kotlyarenko with in-person Q&A

The screenlife films of Eugene Kotlyarenko, 0s and 1s and Spree, will play at a special double feature session, presented by Static Vision, with writer/director/producer Eugene Kotlyarenko in attendance, delivering an unmissable intro/Q&A combo. 

Eugene Kotlyarenko is a Ukrainian-American writer/director based in Los Angeles. His debut film 0s & 1s (2011) was hailed as “the ultimate has-to-be-seen-more-than-once movie,” by The New York Times. 

Ingeniously plugged into the digital matrix of millennial neurosis and ennui, Kotlyarenko’s colourful character studies envision the pleasures and the perils of a novel reality filtered through touchscreens.

Euge-apalooza is a four-day screening event from Wednesday 23 to Saturday 26 October. For more screenings and details head to www.instagram.com/staticvisionau
