Egyptian-Swedish creative hotshot and former graffiti hero Tarik Saleh, has kindly shared the first footage of his Kafka-esque animated feature Metropia on Youtube. Featuring the voices of Vincent Gallo and Juliette Lewis, the film takes place in a grim, futuristic Europe comprising a vast and scary web of inter-connected underground tunnels.
Our protagonist Roger discovers that every detail of his life is being controlled and he doesn’t much like it. He needs the help of a supermodel to regain control of his sanity (don’t we all?). Set for release in Fall 09, Metropia blurs the lines between animation and regular fiction – a cross-genre hybrid that may well denote the future of film.
