"An audacious and chilling parable that questions misdirected
over-reliance on
gadgets
and God. The parallels between
Alli's futuristic
tale and the assault on
many
contemporary
liberties is
too close for comfort. TRAGOS is an
intellectual
adrenaline
rush
of hypnotic
strength
and emotional depth." - Phil Hall, filmthreat
THE WORLD OF TRAGOS
SYLVI ALLI as Vivika and BARBARA JASPERSEN as Bella Luxor
Present time. An urban tribe of technopagans perform their
ecstatic rites in "Tragos", a virtual reality program until their leader,
Bella Luxor, over amps the device and goes blind. At the same time,
her sister Vivila is assimilated into the program causing her
physical death. Was her death accidental or was the
Tragos program misused as a suicide machine?!

NEIL HOWARD as Stretch Albright, the Mole/Unemployed Actor (right)
Enter Robert Logos, a fundamentalist Christian attorney,
who believes her death was caused by a satanic suicide cult.
He hires an unemployed actor posing as a detective to
infiltrate the cult in this cyber-noir tale of tragedy and
redemption in the hyper-digitized era of future now.
Bob Logos (BOBBY WEINAPPLE) visits the Priest (LEE VOGT)
"The
story might sound like an opportunity for countercultural
self-congratulation,
with heroic pagans fighting off an oppressive
church.
Yet the prosecutor, though
misguided, is one of the most sympathetic
characters
in the movie, and the priest
who regularly gives him advice
offers nothing
but wisdom." -- Jesse
Walker, REASON Magazine
"TRAGOS": Like father, like daughter...
"Totally
absorbing and intellectually stimulating,
TRAGOS sheds
an eerie
and healthily disturbing light on the mass-hypnotic-narcotic
programming
that we are all
subliminally subjected to, in what we
deludedly
refer to as 'everyday reality'." --
