FILM: Cosmic Slop
This Afro-centric Twilight Zone inspired trilogy celebrates its 15th anniversary at the festival. A three-part anthology combining science-fiction, the super natural and topical social issues includes: Space Traders, where aliens offer solutions to the United States’ problems in exchange for all African-Americans. The country has five days to decide. In The First Commandment, a young Catholic priest is torn between church doctrine and his congregation, which believes that the statue of a saint is both a Catholic and Afro-Cuban deity. His faith is tested when the statue comes to life and performs miracles. In Tang, a woman living with an abusive boyfriend receives a package containing instructions for the “revolution”. A special thanks for HBO Video. 1994, 83 minutes
