“A deadpan video art reworking of 1982's highest-grossing movie, EXTRA TERRESTRIAL peels away layers of sentimental narrative goo from its source, exposing a hard core of anxiety, loneliness and dread.

The film is silent but a series of stares, glances and winks between the protagonists creates an optical language of flirtation and threat.
