Images cascade and collide in Acetone Reality, as animation, found images, and the artists’ own video recordings crash against a dialogue between computer-generated voices exploring the wonders of acetone and the nature of meaning. Across Sara Magenheimer and Michael Bell-Smith’s teetering montage, blocky pixels, smeared colors, and cryptic iconography constitute an “insane, yet validated reality."

This title will be available for rental and purchase after its premiere at the 2025 New York Film Festival.
