If the B-52s collaborated with Negativland on an alt-Earth version of STAR TREK, it would feel a lot like SUROH: ALIEN HITCHHIKER—a mixed media hallucination from filmmaker Patrick McGuinn. The story follows Paul (Peter Gingerich), a skeptic who embarks on a spiritual, emotional, and sexual metamorphosis with an extraterrestrial named Suroh. Awash in LSD-tinged visuals and a pulsing acid-house soundtrack, this is a beautiful synthesis of experimental video art and queer exploration.

"An androgynous, existential, alien S.O.V. jam with a drone score that feels like mid-90s Liquid Sky rendered through avant-garde video art and something more innately horny -- like if Genesis P-Orridge remade STARGATE." - Justin La Liberty
