Bulk [Ben Wheatley Season]

When an over zealous scientist pushes his experiments with string theory too far - his brane explodes. That's “brane” not “brain” - but that means someone has to sort out the mess he has created. Our hero Corey Harlan is sent in - kicking and screaming - to find the heart of the brane and its creator Anton Chambers. Now manifested as a normal townhouse hosted by the enigmatic and multi-dimensional Aclima – his adventure begins. A house where opening a door from one room to another can lead you to other worlds, not just the kitchen. Echoing the fate of our protagonists the very fabric of the film - the sets - and even the cameras used to make it film are deconstructed throughout. BULK is a mind-bending sci-fi thriller in the tradition of ALPHAVILLE and PRIMER, but also a love letter to film writing and making. 

Director Ben Wheatley will be in attendance to take part in a post-screening Q&A.
