SUROH: ALIEN HITCHHIKER (1996) - Blu-ray Release of Shot-on-Video Sci-Fi

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: If the B-52s collaborated with Negativland on an alt-Earth version of Star Trek, it would feel a lot like SUROH: ALIEN HITCHHIKER—a mixed media hallucination from filmmaker Patrick McGuinn. The story follows Paul (Peter Gingerich), a skeptic who embarks on a spiritual, emotional, and sexual metamorphosis with an extraterrestrial named Suroh. Awash in LSD-tinged visuals and a pulsing acid-house soundtrack, this is a beautiful synthesis of experimental video art and queer exploration.
