Bulk sees Ben Wheatley return to his DIY roots following some recent adventures in Hollywood; a mind-bending sci-fi thriller in the tradition of Quatermass, Alphaville, and Primer, the film is also a love letter to cinema. When an overzealous scientist pushes his experiments with string theory too far, his brane explodes. That’s ‘brane’, not ‘brain’. Our hero Corey Harlan (Sam Riley) is sent in – kicking and screaming – to find the heart of the brane and its creator, Anton Chambers. He finds himself in a nondescript townhouse hosted by the enigmatic and multi-dimensional Aclima, a house where doors are portals to other worlds. Echoing the fate our protagonist, the very fabric of the film, the sets, and even the cameras used to shoot it, are deconstructed throughout.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Ben Wheatley.
