Event Description
Join us for a special NISF X SCREEN/PRINT screening of Coralie Fargeat’s be-careful-what-you-wish-for fable for the ages. Attendees will receive a free The Substance poster by Katie Skelly.
Demi Moore gives a career-best performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister past her prime and suddenly fired from her fitness TV show by repellent studio head Harvey (Dennis Quaid).
She is then drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug: THE SUBSTANCE. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn – temporarily – as the gorgeous, twentysomething Sue (Margaret Qualley). The only rule? Time needs to be split: exactly one week in one body, then one week in the other. No exceptions. A perfect balance. What could go wrong?
Explosive, provocative and twisted, The Substance marks the arrival of a thrillingly visionary filmmaker.
