PRODUCT INFORMATION
Amanda Kramer's SO UNREAL is a cinephile's visual essay examining a canon of films that dared dream beyond the threshold of the real. Across a 30-year span - 1981 to 2001 - depictions of 'future shock' technologies such as artificial intelligence, cyberspace, and virtual reality grew in both frequency and complexity. Cinema in these years provided an outlet for humanity's intertwined anxieties, fears, and fantasies about the brave new frontiers looming ahead.
Narrated by Blondie icon Debbie Harry, SO UNREAL mines the substance and subtext of cyber-minded landmarks like Tron, Videodrome, Brainstorm, Terminator 2, Tetsuo, Lawnmower Man, Hackers, The Matrix, and dozens more. Soundtracked with deep cuts from the electronic underground, and styled with CGI-glitch FX, SO UNREAL maps the subcurrents of euphoria and dystopia simmering in the cinematic subconscious of the end of the 20th century.

Shipping
No, we only ship inside the US
Most orders for in-stock items take less than 24 hours to ship (may take longer if you place an order over the weekend). Pre-orders are shipped as soon as the product arrives. International pre-orders may not come in before the street date. This is especially true with Australian pre-orders.
We only use USPS for all shipments. If there is an issue after your order ships you will need to contact your local post office.
Product
All items that come with a slipcover will say so in the product page.
Pre-orders will not say WITH SLIPCOVER until the product comes in.
Slipcovers are not guaranteed to be in mint condition.
If you can order it, it's either in stock or a pre-order. If an item is out of stock you will not be able to add it to your cart. It's rare but our inventory may not be correct. So in some cases an item may have to be shipped separately.
Other
We do not sell bootlegs. All product arrives from the distributor or is directly from the filmmakers. All items are new and sealed. Some indie titles or signed editions may not have shrinkwrap.
