FUDLIAKS! Tear the sexes apart!

13
min 
Content warning:
This hyper-intersectional film is wonderful amalgam of sci-fi creature-flick, campy music video, grotesque comedy, agitprop flick against heterocentric research as well as (soft-)pornographic subversive statement. FUDLIAKS! ZERFETZT DIE GESCHLECHTER! is set in an undefined present, in a mysterious laboratory: the Institute for Gender Normalization. The research subject of this neo-conservative think tank: the scientific underpinnings of conventional heteronormative bodies and biologically binary genders. But a new research series turns all that on its head!
