Official Selection at LES Film Festival


In a series of warped, image-driven episodes, five strangers in the American West navigate overlapping landscapes of paradoxical fantasy. Constantly shifting perspective, the fractured narrative revolves around a poet, a hitchhiker and three motel rooms. A surrealistic combination of sparse dialogue, unsettling characters and abstracted motion graphics animation, the film is a new take on the classic road story.
Temporary Distortion is based in New York City and has presented work in the US, Canada, Australia, Japan and across Europe. Welcome to Nowhere (Bullet Hole Road) is a film based on Temporary Distortion’s internationally acclaimed 2007 experimental theater/cinema performance.

Dustin Freeley, of the film analysis and commentary website Movies About Gladiators, took a look at the film and wrote up a brilliantly sharp critique, looking at the film against the history of American Road Movies. Head on over to their site and read the critique before or after you see the film. The article is called A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Road Movie.
