Also available is the option to download a high-quality digital copy of the film for anyone who makes a donation to Channel 13.
The Village Voice exclaimed "Robot radness achieved!" and the New York Times said that "the buzzing static and fizzy backlighting recall the glistening surrealism of the filmmaker Guy Maddin... enormously endearing" when AUTOMATONS was first released in theaters in 2007. The film was directed by DYI auteur James Felix McKenney who also directed CANNIBALLISTIC!, THE OFF SEASON and the forth-coming SATAN HATES YOU and HYPOTHERMIA.
Says McKenney, "I'm incredibly excited to have our film be part of Reel 13. I have been a huge fan of Public Television my whole life. In fact, AUTOMATONS is almost entirely inspired by my a large part of childhood spent staring through the snow at a tiny B&W television with a coat hanger for an antenna to watch DOCTOR WHO, THE PRISONER, MATINEE AT THE BIJOU, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and the classic films of Hitchcock as well as Universal horror movies on my local PBS stations in Maine and New Hampshire. I think we've found the perfect online home for our little film."
AUTOMATONS is the third film in Glass Eye Pix's ScareFlix series and is currently available on DVD from Facets Video. This black & white, retro-science fiction experiment tells the story of a civilization's lone survivor who continues to fight the robot war that destroyed her people. The film stars Christine Spencer (SATAN HATES YOU), Brenda Cooney (I SELL THE DEAD), Angus Scrimm (PHANTASM), Don Wood (PBS' COLONIAL HOUSE), producer Larry Fessenden (HABIT) and John Levene (DOCTOR WHO).
