Saturday November 1st 7:30PM Tribulation 1999
1000 years ago an alien race called the Quetzals came to earth and inhabited its hollow center until fallout from A-bombs mutated their genitals to the point that they were forced to mate with snakes for survival. This experimental montage uses phoney tabloid headlines and a frenetic juxtaposition of clips from the press and B-movies to criticize U.S. policy in Latin America since World War II. Seriously cerebral fun daring to emerge out of our conservative times. "One of the most exhilarating underground movies in recent years...A relentlessly lurid agitprop for the cyberpunk generation" (J. Hoberman). In the year 1000, aliens from the planet Quetzalcoatl flee their dying planet and take refuge under the Earth's surface. Disturbed by 1950s American atomic testing, the aliens strike back at the USA in such varied schemes as the replicant Castro, the psychic vampire regime in Grenada and the Allende plot to alter the Earth's axis. Only covert action by the CIA can stop the dreaded Quetzal. (48 Min)
