After the alien gut microbe invasion that brought about the collapse of civilisation and the death of 93% of humanity, life has been … less than ideal. But no longer! Interself's revolutionary Gut Instinct purification programme will free your mind - and your guts - forever! A post-apocalyptic found footage instructional film on acid, Gut Instinct blends plausible science fiction, outrageous science fact, black comedy and intense visual freakouts in service of a singular cinematic trip. Inspired by a case of food poisoning and researched and assembled over seven years from hundreds of hours of public-domain archival films, travel footage from 12 countries, thousands of hand-painted index cards, bespoke 2-D animation, and more, Gut Instinct is a herculean no-budget effort: absurd yet thought-provoking, its 3000 edits adding up to a one-of-a-kind, epic, eye-popping feature.
