“A fresh and unforgettable cinematic experience. Built from samples of movies, public speeches, famous songs, and even memes… stitched together to create a vivid representation of American culture before and after the 2016 elections… You’ve never seen a film quite like this one before.” – ColliderThe Australian-born, Brooklyn-based siblings, Soda Jerk, repurpose and collage classic films. They describe their hilariously warped narrative feature, HELLO DANKNESS, as a “political fable that bears witness to the psychotropic spectacle of American politics from 2016 to 2021.” Sampling 500+ clips from movies, television, commercials, memes, and news footage, the film situates our political fissures within a suburban neighborhood inhabited by characters from popular comedies and horror films. Players and trolls from the 2016 election (Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Mark Zuckerberg, MAGA and QAnon followers) are ingeniously grafted into these scenes to eerily send up the absurdities of American politics today. It is “a gleeful satire of our strange political times.” (The Hollywood Reporter)
