🎬 Preceded by the short film A Door to My Memory
In the city of Schirkoa, everyone is forced to wear paper bags over their heads to maintain “perfection.” When a council member falls for someone he shouldn’t, he begins to uncover a world of corruption, control, and hidden truths that threaten to unravel everything.
Blending striking animation with sharp social commentary, Schirkoa: In Lies We Trust explores power, conformity, and the fragile systems that hold society together. Featuring voice performances by Asia Argento, Anurag Kashyap, and Gaspar Noé, this haunting and visually rich film challenges what we believe about identity, culture, and the future.
✨ A visually stunning and thought provoking dystopian journey
🎬 Screening at the 11th Indie Meme Film Festival (IMFF 2026)
