Miranda unwillingly donsher red hot riding hood and sets off alone in the forest.If Charles Perrault had read Nabokov’s Lolita before writing his Red Riding Hood, theodds are that Jorge Molina and he would have been as thick as thieves! Molina, acinema teacher in Cuba and diehard fan of horror flicks, injects this universal tale witha severe dose of symbolism and eroticism which would have surely pleased Walerian Borowczyk, thelegendary x- rated movie troublemaker. With Ferozz he has created a fierce and disturbing piece of art.MILOCRORZE (Yoshimasa Ishibashi-Japan)A Yoshimasa Ishibashi filmScreenplay : Yoshimasa IshibashiCast: Takayuki Yamada, MaikoRunning time: 90 min..1) The routine existence of the childlike man Ovreneli Vreneligari is turned completely upside down when hesets eyes for the first time on the stunningly beautiful Milocroze.

This year, Yoshimasa Ishibashi’s directing debut Milocrorze will play the partof that wacky, weird and original surprise which you’re only able to see at the BIFFF. Milocrorze is an insanemix of colors and styles, effortlessly switching from one genre to another in seconds. It’s a fairytale, it’sbloody, dramatic, absurd, melodious, kitschy and genre bending at the same time. In short, an idealcandidate for our 7th Orbit Section.35
