Bristol PsychArts presents: A Scanner Darkly (2006)

Note - tickets are now offered at cost price due to a funding change. We hope to see you there!

Synopsis: An undercover cop in a not-too-distant future becomes involved with a dangerous new drug and begins to lose his own identity as a result. Based on the science fiction novel by American writer Philip K. Dick, published in 1977. The semi-autobiographical story is set in a dystopian Orange County, California, in the then-future of June 1994, and tells the story of identity and deception in a near-future dystopia constantly under intrusive high-tech police surveillance in the midst of a drug addiction epidemic.

The film was shot digitally and then animated using interpolated rotoscope, an animation technique in which animators trace over the original footage frame by frame.

Where: 20th Century Flicks, 19 Christmas Steps, Bristol, BS1 5BS
