MIDNIGHT SCREAMS
Three friends fall into radioactive water and unexpectedly gain a bizarre magical power: every time they sneeze, they teleport into their own bodies twenty years in the future. But the future is far from reassuring – bullets are whizzing around, the fate of the world hangs by a thread, and worst of all, one of them realises that his girlfriend has fallen for the other friend! Sneezing their way back and forth through time, the trio scrambles to change the past and save the future. The film just bursts with cinematic ideas.

“I always hope for something surprising, energetic, and completely unpredictable at late-night festival screenings. More often than not, it is films from Asia that live up to these expectations. Director and screenwriter Yang Li maintains a dizzying pace, employs an array of special effects, and delivers dynamic choreography by expertly combining comic book-inspired animation with spectacular martial arts. The screen will overflow with colors, explosions, and creativity.” (Programme curator Karolis Žukas)
