Cryptozoo [LAST SCREENING]

In the most magical, luminous night, deep into a luscious forest, two lovers freely run around naked, laying down on mother nature’s green bed, loving each other passionately. Suddenly, there appears a sacred creature in their garden of Eden, the rarest of them all, majestic, fantastic, extraordinary… a unicorn. Winner of the Next Innovator Award at Sundance and of a Special Mention in the Generation section of the Berlinale, Shaw paints a world where cryptozookeepers try to rescue creatures of legend and build a sanctuary for them. Notably voiced by Lake Bell and Michael Cera, CRYPTOZOO is a melting pot of myths accompanied by a strong social comment. Shaw defends the marginalized, and moves us to the bone. – Text written for Fantasia International Film Festival
