The Savannah Resistance: Full System Memoir - obscure dystopian AI film re-edit re-release
The Savannah Resistance (2016)
Full System Memoir
The Savannah Resistance: Full System Memoir is the remastered and re‑edited debut feature film from Canadian filmmaker Perry Mark Stratychuk. This digitally enhanced version of the experimental dystopian sci‑fi film blends surreal visuals, philosophical undertones, and a haunting narrative set in a fractured AI future.
Starring Dean V. Beckman and Jack Urbanski, with voice‑over by Christopher Sigurdson, this 82‑minute independent science fiction feature includes restored color sequences, new visual effects, and an updated soundtrack by experimental sound artist Pim Zond. Stratychuk’s signature style—poetic, provocative, and visually layered—is showcased as he takes on every major creative role: producer, director, cinematographer, editor, and composer.
A semi‑finalist at the Philip K. Dyck Science Fiction and Fantasy Film Festival (2017), The Savannah Resistance is essential viewing for fans of the obscure, weird, avant‑garde cinema, cyberpunk aesthetics, dystopian sci‑fi, and visionary low-budget independent filmmaking.
The original raw cut is also available for collectors and cinephiles seeking a piece of Canadian film history HERE.
