Peter Strickland (In Fabric, The Duke of Burgundy, Berberian Sound Studio) serves up another delectable feast of art satire and black humour with this tale about a dysfunctional sonic collective.
Welcome to the Sonic Catering Institute, an exclusive creative retreat for artists devoted to culinary and sound performance. Here three "sonic caterers" (Fatma Mohamed, Asa Butterfield and Ariane Labed) refine their practice, but their interpersonal strife leads them to increasingly extreme acts (let's just say some things are best left discovered whilst watching the film), and their host's (Gwendoline Christie) psyche is unravelling...
An absurdly original feast for the senses, this is at once a deliciously funny send up of the art scene and an ode to the perils of creativity. We are sure audiences will eat it up... come tuck in with us.
