Fresh Cuts - For the & of Sci-Fi

In this film block, the body becomes a playground of change, control and desire. From genetically modified babies to a floating astronaut in the void, from bodily mutations to a casino where you can win a child: these films operate at the intersection of science fiction, horror and psychological drama.

FEMME - Nina Noël Raaijmakers After her first, unpleasant sexual experience, young student Fem notices that her body is undergoing a frightening change.
