STL Premiere — SHE IS CONANN (2024) — Sold Out!

THIS SCREENING IS SOLD OUT!

February 16 : 7:30 pm

“A WILD LESBIAN FANTASY EPIC with all the bloody battles, timeslipping travails and bloodlettings that you could want from an unofficial riff on the legendary barbarian Conan.” –Nashville Scene

After blowing every festival’s crowds minds with his electrifying feature debuts – respectively adventure-tale The Wild Boys and sci-fi odyssey After Blue, Bertrand Mandico makes a triumphant return with She Is Conann, his own blazing, violent yet erotic take on the mythological classic re-pulped in the ’80s. Prepare to watch Mandico’s unique vision gets the bigger & louder treatment as he gathers a versatile crowd of actresses to capture the never-told before tale of heroic fantasy’s blood-thirsty queen, and this year’s most unforgettable trip!

Traveling through the abyss, underworld dog Rainer (Elina Löwensohn) recounts the six lives of Conann — played by six different actresses — perpetually put to death by her own future, across eras, myths and ages. From her childhood, a slave of Sanja (Julia Riedler) and her barbarian horde, to her accession to the summits of cruelty at the doors of our world.

“The film maintains the ethereal quality for which the director is known. Mandico’s audacious vision persists here, seamlessly weaving camp elements into sociopolitical satire while also expanding his repertoire with bolder visual choices. The film delves into various manifestations of barbarism, exploring its allegorical dimensions in ways that are both unsettling and compelling.” -ScreenAnarchy

“Director Bertrand Mandico’s lurid saga of gender-queer decadence and visceral violence is a ravishing sensory feast for viewers with strong stomachs.” -The Film Verdict

“A bloody good time!” -The Mary Sue
