BUTFF x CULTfilm is your monthly film evening for underground and trash films! Leiden film scholar Dani van Duin selects rarely screened gems especially for De Generator. This time: Sugar Rot.
After a brutal assault by an ice cream man, punk girl Candy becomes host to a mutant baby. As her body slowly but inexorably turns into ice cream, her humanity fades in the eyes of the men around her. They see her not as a person, but as an object: something to be consumed, appropriated, and eaten. What follows is a grotesque, confrontational, and razor-sharp nightmare in which bodily horror and social critique go hand in hand.
This delightfully bizarre, utterly unsubtle, and uncompromising feminist trash film by Becca Kozak was met with loud enthusiasm on January 3rd at the WinterBUT Film Festival in Breda. And rightly so: this is the kind of film you don’t just watch once: you have to share it. That’s why we’re screening Sugar Rot once again at Theater De Generator.

Sugar Rot
After a brutal assault by an ice cream man, punk girl Candy becomes host to a mutant baby. As her body transforms into ice cream, those around her see her not as a person, but as something to be consumed. Fueled by a blistering punk soundtrack and dripping with grotesque body horror, this wild exploitation film oozes with feminist subtext.
