DARK STAR: H. R. GIGER'S WORLD

Surrealist artist H. R. Giger terrified audiences with his Oscar-winning monsters in Ridley Scott's "Alien." Sci-fi, horror, music, album covers, tattoos and fetish art have been influenced by his intricate and nightmarish paintings and sculptures depicting birth, death and sex. Both a mesmerizing introduction to Giger's oeuvre and a must-see for Giger devotees, Belinda Sallin's definitive documentary Dark Star: H. R. Giger’s World shares the last years of the artist's life and reveals how deeply he resided within his own dark artistic visions. Belinda Sallin, director and writer, was born in 1967. After studying German literature, philology and communication science, Sallin worked as journalist and editor for the Schweizer Fernsehen political magazine Rundschau. In 2009, she co-founded the independent production company Lucky Film GmbH. She currently lives with her husband and two sons in Zurich, Switzerland. Begin on May 15, 2015, DARK STAR: H. R. GIGER'S WORLD will open in NY/LA/SF followed by cities including Atlanta, Denver, Ottawa, Montreal, Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver and more.
