Program Note

The star-crossed lovers must unite to resolve this curse, as Agnes goes through multiple reincarnations over centuries to fulfill her consummation for romance.
Timestalker is Alice Lowe’s triumphant return as a director, eight years after her shocking debut, Prevenge (2016). Her second feature is an entertaining, historical sci-fi romantic comedy fully displaying her comedic talents. The film also combines her biting humor with surprising surreal subversiveness, violent mutilation, grotesque imagery, and more. Nothing’s off-limits for Ms. Lowe as she creates a fun and ambitious ‘Monty Pythonesque’ feature. (Jongsuk Thomas NAM)
