Movie screenings are getting more unique as the years go on, and this latest one that’s been brought to our attention is so outside the box that it literally places you, well, inside a box.
Via THR, the Goteborg Film Festival in Sweden, beginning on January 27, will be offering up 33 “sarcophagus screenings” of Aniara, a Swedish-language apocalyptic sci-fi film!
The site details these highly unusual screenings, wherein “eight volunteers at a time will be shut into specially made caskets outfitted with screens, speakers and air vents.”
“Our goal was to find a way to take the experience of the film, and the apocalypse, further. To take the sense of aloneness and claustrophobia and strengthen it,” festival director Jonas Holmberg said in a statement. The screenings will take place between January 27th and 31st, and inside the coffin will be a “panic” button for anyone who gets too freaked out.
Pella Kagerman and Hugo Lilja directed Aniara, wherein:
“A spaceship carrying settlers to Mars is knocked off course, causing the consumption-obsessed passengers to consider their place in the universe.”
