more about Haddad’s visit to IC:
The Bijou Film Board & FilmScene are proud to present HE NEVER DIES: The Films of Kalil Haddad:
Kalil Haddad is an experimental filmmaker based in Toronto, Canada. His shorts are explorations of sex, violence, and the horror of memory. Juxtaposing archival porn and abrasive noise against narratives of tragedy and trauma, these films are haunting confrontations with the darker side of queer desire.

Bijou has reached out to our friends at Puddle to throw the official afterparty for this event at the Wright House of Fashion, which will start @ 9PM and last until LATE!
Beyond just being a showcase of both Iowa City’s & Chicago’s techno talent, we believe this event will highlight the best of what DIY art is and can be, both in sight and sound. In tandem with the DJ sets, Kalil Haddad will also be projecting an art installation at the venue. Given his film’s stylistic concerns with visual and sonic collaging, harsh noise, and intense strobing, we hope that the broader community can experience his artistic predilections in new, explosive contexts beyond the film screening. All are welcome!!!
