Make a whole new religion

Aachi & Ssipak

Wildly inventive and irreverent, this superb Korean animation is destined for cult status. The hilarious story is set in the future where the world's energy sources have run out. Consequently, human faeces have to be used as fuel for engines. Each time a person defecates, his government would reward him with an addictive drug-like candy known as the Juicy Bar, which soon becomes the root of crime and warfare. Absolutely wacky and unforgettable and a sure sign that Korean animation has arrived.

The Boss of It All

The master of Dogme returns with a black comic form of his early days. Ravn, the owner of an IT firm, wants to sell out. The trouble is that when he started his firm he invented a non-existent company president to hide behind when unpopular steps needed to be taken. When potential purchasers insist on negotiating with the "Boss" face to face, the owner has to take on Kristoffer, a failed actor, to play the part. The actor suddenly discovers he is a pawn in a game that goes on to sorely test his (lack of) moral fibre.
