Brooklyn-based Factory 25 has announced the theatrical release of Peru’s 2017 Academy Award Submission for Best Foreign-Language Film, Videofilia (and Other Viral Syndromes) by Juan Daniel F. Molero. Winner of the Tiger Award for Best Film at the Rotterdam Film Festival, the film opens on December 2 at Spectacle Theater in New York City, followed by week runs at Arena Cinema in Los Angeles starting December 7, and at The Roxie in San Francisco on January 6, with additional screenings across the country through winter. The film will also be available digitally in February via iTunes, Vimeo, Amazon, VUDU, X-Box, Sony Playstation and other many other digital outlets.

Videofilia (and Other Viral Syndromes) begins as a teenage misfit spends her first days out of school slacking and experimenting with drugs and cyberspace. She meets Junior online. He's an aspiring amateur porn dealer into conspiracy theories and is also convinced that the Mayan Apocalypse is happening. Once they meet in the 'real world,' a series of bizarre events unfold in this contemporary non-love story that portrays a post-modern Lima as an glitchy computer virus full of corruption, psychedelia and ancient ruins. 

Hailed as "purely psychedelic... mesmerizing, nearly horrifying" (John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter), Videofilia (and Other Viral Syndromes) is the second feature by Molero, his 2005 film, Reminiscencias was an international festival favorite.
