Cruel is the Night
Dir. Alan Deprez (Belgium 2016) 21 min
Program: Home Invasion

This film walks an uncomfortable line between class war and misogyny, and the sexualized violence blended with the dystopic concrete estate and the grand country house give it a feel of a politicized Clockwork Orange.
The wealthy have fetishised oppression to a literal extent, while their attackers are conflicted by this pervasive ideology, which has even seeped into their unconscious. I think that's why they clearly don't want to escape - they know a piece of them needs to die there too.
Jack Brindelli

Program Home Invasion
I was born and raised in New Mexico where the last vestiges of indigenous people in The US reside...and I was raised with a great respect for mother Earth...perhaps the worst "home" invasion happening to date is that of Nature and the eco system that we share this planet with. I was abhorred when the current US administration
even considering the new legislation Congress made regarding killing bears and wolves that are hibernating!!!! Man's hubris will be his demise.
