More About This Film

ALT+F+4ward is a frantic three-minute experimental short in which a semi-human queer figure moves through a world saturated with digital imagery, motion graphics, and internet debris. The project uses visual overload as a way of exploring identity, alienation, and life inside contemporary online culture.

The film combines animation, music, videogame logic, and mixed-media imagery into a deliberately abrasive audiovisual experience. Its extremely short runtime turns the project into a burst of ideas rather than a conventional narrative film.

  • The film premiered at the 2026 Chicago Underground Film Festival.
