The experimental filmmakers Thorsten Fleisch and Telemach Wiesinger come together for the first time to battle the silver screen, showing material they kept hidden from unsuspecting eyes due to their intense nature. Some say there'll be blood and water, others are still gasping for air from the visual shock treatment. Most of the films have neither seen the light of day nor the darkness of the theatre.
