Ganguro Gals Riot
Ganguro gals are the girls in a Japanese subculture who darken their face, whiten around the eyes, work on their hair, have ornate nails and wear high heels and fancy dresses. The film depicts the girls, focusing on one, and has the camera take us from high school to graduation, life in the twenties and later.

In the fantasy worlds of Japanese filmmaker Kenichi Ugana, there are furry little alien creatures, goopy-tentacled monsters, outlandish zombies and hysterical demons. There's also wall-to-wall absurdity, a cross between Ricky Gervais, Monty Python and Sam Raimi. On the lineup are three short films (MOJA, VISITORS and COEXISTENCE) and one surprise: TWIST (the tantalizing teaser for a film to be released in 2023). Gore that makes you laugh and laughs that make you think in one bizarre package, guaranteed to send you on a gleeful trip through the frenzied mind of a world-class artist who is now single-handedly redefining genre cinema.
