WORLD PREMIERE - A FILM NOIR CINEMA GREENPOINT BROOKLYN EXCLUSIVE
Event will have a Q&A with the director following the screening.
In 53 Spaceships 2 NYC detectives - Rene (Sujewa Ekanayake) and Allyson (Alia Lorae) must find 53 hidden, ancient spaceships that have now gone missing, and due to a security system that was altered the ships are at risk of engine core meltdowns that may create an ever expanding black hole or 53 of them that will destroy the planet and perhaps the entire universe. The lives of the space aliens from the Massive Positivity Galaxy (Andromeda galaxy) who brought over the super ancient spaceships millions of years ago are examined - for clues to a passcode that's needed to stop the core meltdowns. Will the detectives find the missing ships in time - they have 14 days - to save the world and perhaps the universe? Find out in the fast, funny, very sci-fi comedy.
This is a new type of a movie in the Rene and Allyson series by director Sujewa Ekanayake - this one has 53 spaceships, and is more of a regular sci-fi comedy - still unusual - inspired by Chan Is Missing, Slacker (Linklater), Star Wars (1977), Breathless (Godard), Goodbye to Language (Godard), and Tom Cruise's final Mission: Impossible movie with its multi-layered editing/many cutaways. Ekanayake's previous movie Cosmic Disco Detective Rene was declared "indie filmmaking at its finest" by critic Bill Arceneaux. And his earlier (2018) film Werewolf Ninja Philosopher was selected to be one of the "top 19 films of 2019" by film critic Ian Simmmons.
