Beyond the Black Rainbow

This film looks like an acid trip I once had. I mean that in the best way. The trailer induces a sort of hypnotic flare that I haven't seen in a film in a while. The visuals look stunning. The tone looks reserved and deliberate. All and all, this may be the film I am most excited for seeing at this year's Phoenix Film Festival.

Set in the strange and oppressive emotional landscape of the year 1983, BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW is a Reagan-era fever dream inspired by hazy childhood memories of midnight movies and Saturday morning cartoons. From the producer of Machotaildrop, RAINBOW is the outlandish feature film debut of writer and director Panos Cosmatos. Featuring a hypnotic analog synthesizer score by Jeremy Schmidt of “Sinoia Caves” and “Black Mountain,” RAINBOW is a film experience for the senses.




The film plays at the Phoenix Film Festival on Saturday March 31st at 3:25pm.
