The Savannah Resistance: Full System Memoir - obscure dystopian AI film re-edit re-release
The Savannah Resistance: Full System Memoir is the remastered and re-edited debut feature film from Canadian filmmaker Perry Mark Stratychuk. Originally released in the 1990s and now available in a digitally enhanced version, this experimental dystopian sci-fi film blends surreal visuals, philosophical undertones, and a haunting narrative set in a fractured future.
Starring Dean V. Beckman and Jack Urbanski, with a voice-over by Christopher Sigurdson, this 82-minute independent science fiction feature includes restored missing color sequences, added visual effects, and a newly updated soundtrack by experimental sound artist Pim Zond. Stratychuk’s signature style—poetic, provocative, and visually layered—is on full display as he takes on every major creative role: producer, director, cinematographer, editor, and composer.
A semi-finalist at the Phillip K. Dyck Science Fiction and Fantasy Film Festival in 2017, Savannah Electric is a must-watch for fans of avant-garde cinema, cyberpunk aesthetics, and visionary storytelling. The original version is also available for collectors and cinephiles seeking the raw cut.
