A new short film by Vanessa Query and the Greenfield Movie Club.
Part “Casper the Friendly Ghost,” part E.T., part David Lynch, “Alienation” is a science-fiction drama-comedy about an alien who is lost and looking for their way home. Trying to get help from the dominant sentient population (i.e. humans), the alien manages only to scare everyone away with their bizarre look and their bizarre language. Will the alien ever find their way home?
“Alienation” was shot in Greenfield and Turners Falls, MA in 2018. It was screened on April 11, 2019 at The Rendezvous in Turners Falls, MA; in The LAVA Center’s Online Open Screen Film Festival in 2021; and was an official selection of the 2021 Mumbai Entertainment International Film Festival.
