Tribeca '11: Beyond the Black Rainbow Preview and Trailer

Continuing with coverage of the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival, Beyond the Black Rainbow is creating a buzz, through its use of surreal images. This title was shot locally, in Vancouver, and the film is set in 1983. The trailer below shows horrifying images of skulls spouting smoke, while bodies lay bloody and prone. Your trauma begins April 22nd, with Tribeca hosting the film's International Premiere.

The synopsis for Beyond the Black Rainbow is here:

"Panos Cosmatos brings a bold, Kubrickian vision to the screen in stunning detail in this sci-fi fable of a young woman imprisoned in an experimental laboratory and the enigmatic scientist who is her captor. Set in a futuristic 1983, Elena finds herself held against her will in a mysterious facility under the watchful eye of the sinister Dr. Barry Nyle. Pushed to her limits, Elena is left with no choice but to navigate an escape from her labyrinthine prison, in the process revealing its hidden secrets.

At once creatively futuristic and hypnotically retro, Beyond the Black Rainbow evokes the spirit of classic 1970s and '80s science fiction films through its vintage-inspired chromatic cinematography, elaborate set pieces, and an authentically retro sci-fi score composed entirely on analog synthesizers by Black Mountain's Jeremy Schmidt. With all the makings of a cult classic, Beyond the Black Rainbow is sure to absorb viewers in its unique dystopian futurescape, and marks the trippy, exciting debut of a promising new talent in the science fiction world" (Tribeca).
