The Transfiguration The Transfiguration

Michael O'Shea / USA / 2016 / 97 min / English

Michael O'Shea’s independent feature-film debut, vampire movie The Transfiguration employs realism and visceral thrills rather than special effects.

Queens, New York. 14-year-old Milo is an outsider. Orphaned, ignored by his school-mates and bullied by older kids, he takes refuge in the apartment he shares with his older brother. To escape his solitude, he immerses himself in the world of the vampire. Milo hides a dark secret, but a chance encounter with a new neighbour, Sophie, leads him to develop new feelings. But is this enough to quash his dark urges?

"I do think that we live in a world where pop culture has replaced religion to some degree. While I’m not saying that we need religion, maybe I am making some kind of comment that we’re all terrified of death and that there is something wrong with the facts that vampires were created to teach us that death is natural. I feel that somewhere along the line that changed and vampires became a romantic figure of a good thing. I think vampires are supposed to teach us that we should die because you become a monster if you don’t die. You become horrible and drink blood. You’re disgusting and that’s teaching you it’s good to die." (Michael O'Shea)

Materialists Materialists

Celine Song

Monday, 25. 08. 2025 / 18:00 / Main Hall

Lucy works at a high-end matchmaking company trying to pair up moneyed entrepreneurs with elite bachelors and bachelorettes. When she meets Harry at the wedding of two of her successfully paired clients, she immediately knows that this ‘unicorn’ would be a perfect catch for a lot of her customers. But Harry is more interested in Lucy. And then her ex suddenly shows up… As we could expect from the director of Past Lives, Materialists is not exactly a romantic comedy about a matchmaker torn between two suitors, but rather a lucid examination of the contradictions of love and dating.
