WORLD PREMIERE -  Want to know what TETSUO would have been like if directed by John Waters? Then look no further than director David Buchanan’s quirky black-and-white oddity that he describes as “An insane, unruly teenager of a movie, found on a trash heap”. Dealing with the trials and tribulations of a disaffected former musician with a prosthetic hand who gets drawn into the mysterious and sinister world of his downstairs neighbour, LAGUNA AVE perfectly captures a paranoid Los Angeles where no one can be trusted, everything is decaying or coming apart at the seams and being held together with celluloid duct tape.
