Miguel Llansó’s Infinite Summer World Premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival Latest Feature from the Director of Crumbs & Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway Screens July 27

Montreal, QC – Fantasia alum Miguel Llansó (Crumbs (2015), Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway (2019) is excited to return to the Fantasia International Film Festival for the world premiere of his latest feature, the offbeat and emotionally resonant concoction Infinite Summer. Infinite Summer will screen July 27th as part of the 2024 edition of Fantasia.
Infinite Summer is produced by Llansó alongside longtime collaborators Rain Rannu and Tõnu Hiielaid of Tallifornia and their new American partners Allison Rose Carter and Jon Read of Savage Rose Films (Everything Everywhere All At Once, Zola). The film stars Hannah Gross (Joker, “Mindhunter”), Johanna Rosin, Teele Kaljuvee-O’Brock & Ciaron Davies as Dr. Mindfulness.

Of his latest work, Llansó shared, “Millions of years ago, hominids were doing similar things that we do today: fighting, being jealous, loving, insulting each other and laughing a lot. But what would be the future of humankind after an increasing attachment of our bodies to technological devices or transforming chemistry? Would it make sense to still talk about human desires, dreams and ambitions attached to this body?
How would we perceive individuality after the dissolution of our body’s boundaries, or its merging with technologies or other organic forms?
From a philosophical perspective, Infinite Summer revolves around these reflections on upcoming technologies as applied to our bodies. These transhumanist narratives are indelibly linked to the stories of the film.”

Official Plot

On a summer break, Mia and her friends try a meditation app that delivers a mind-bending experience. Police investigation reveals darker forces behind it. When one of the girls ends up in a hospital and the other one escapes, Mia is grappling with the choice to save them or join them.
