One of the most unusual films in the 2016 lineup, Berndt Mader's BOOGER RED is an unexpected mashup of narrative and documentary filmmaking, a true crime exposé of a case possibly gone wrong, and an acting showcase for Onur Tukel (who won a Special Jury Prize at SFF in 2012 for RICHARD'S WEDDING). Tukel plays a journalist named Onur Tukel (or is he himself, posing as a journalist, because either is plausible) who travels to a small town in Texas to report on an old case in which the owners of a local swinger's club were convicted of running a child sex ring. But the case doesn't turn out to be quite that clear cut, and the truth may be even stranger and more sinister. This film is not for the faint of heart, however it rewards the brave.
