Following in the footsteps of Francis Ford Coppola and Peter Bogdanovich, Carl Colpaert made his directorial debut by combining repurposed excerpts from a foreign film in this case, Mamoru Oshii s (Ghost In The Shell) spellbinding 1985 anime Angel s Egg with new live action footage shot in America. The result is In The Aftermath, a haunting post-apocalyptic vision like no other. In a radiation-soaked wasteland, two surviving soldiers, Frank and Goose, search for essential supplies amid the rubble. After a violent confrontation, Frank is haunted by visions of an angelic young girl holding a giant egg, herself a refugee from another world altogether. Could the egg be the key to saving both their worlds? A unique mash-up of 1980s B-movie nuclear paranoia and hauntingly lyrical animation, In The Aftermath is presented in a stunning new restoration that highlights Oshii s visionary genius and Colpaert s low-budget ingenuity.
