Introduction

Arthur Rimbaud’s surrealist visions materialise in this experimental film, which is inspired by his most famous poem, A Season in Hell. Intellectual debates in a dystopian society sit alongside re-enacted performances of iconic queer figures from history. Uchronia is uncompromising in its scrutiny of transgressive movements, both past and present.
