“CRUMBS”
A POST-APOCALYPTIC JOURNEY
OPENS AT CINEMA VILLAGE OCTOBER 23
A post-apocalyptic, surrealist science-fiction romance from Ethiopia is not something one comes across every day, but on October 23, CRUMBS, from IndiePix Films, will make its New York City premiere at Cinema Village.
Set against the background of spectacular, wild and desolate Ethiopian landscapes, CRUMBS introduces audiences to a strange-looking scrap collector, Gagano (played by the charismatic Daniel Tadesse). Alternately gripped by daydreams and constant fears, the diminutive Gagano has had enough of collecting the priceless crumbs of decayed civilization – Teenage Mutant Ninja amulets, toy ray guns and Superman costumes -- including the most valuable: merchandise from Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan. Meanwhile, his true love, Birdy (Selam Tesfaye) pines for him in the abandoned bowling alley they’ve colonized. When a spaceship that has been hovering high in the sky for years starts showing signs of activity, Gagano has to overcome his fears – as well as a witch, Santa Claus and second-generation Nazis -- to discover things aren’t quite the way he thought.
CRUMBS marks the feature film debut of director Miguel Llanso. After its World Premiere in the Bright Futures section at the Rotterdam International Film Festival, followed by EFM in Berlin, CRUMBS captured a special Nightfall Jury Mention at the 2015 Los Angeles Film Festival, and the New Flesh Award for “Best First Feature Film” at Montreal’s 19th Annual Fantasia International Film Festival. More recently CRUMBS also received the “Imaging the Future Award” at Switzerland’s Neuchatel Fantastic Film Festival and the “Underground Spirit Award” and Serbia’s Palic Film Festival.
CRUMBS has a running time of 68 minutes and is unrated.
DVD goes on sale 11/3 and VOD date is 11/17.
