STRANGE FRAME (2012, directed by G.B. Hajim, 98 minutes, U.S.)
G.B. Hajim's one-of-a-kind lesbian sci-fi musical fantasy uses cut-out animation to bring to life a neon radiant future. Here, a pair of debt slaves form a band and fall in love before the soul-sucking music industry (literally) tears the lovers apart. The widely-acclaimed feature is a dreamlike dazzler, creating an fascinating, multifaceted world one could imaging springing from our own. Produced in Hawaii, with voice work from Cree Summer, Michael Dorn, Tim Curry, Ron Silver, and George Takei.
