F*cktoys is like if Agnès Varda, Gregg Araki, and John Waters went on a road trip together and made a movie. Shot on vibrant super 16mm, F*cktoys opens with Big Freedia (rapper, singer, and performer who you might know from Beyoncé’s “Formation”) breaking the news to iconic sexpot AP (Annapurna Sriram) that someone put a curse on her. The fix? Just $1,000 cash and a sacrificial lamb. AP embarks on unapologetically sexy, funny, and queer journey to get the cash and lift the curse.
Featuring Sadie Scott (Spoiler Alert, Oh. What. Fun.), François Arnaud (Heated Rivalry, The Borgias), Brandon Flynn (13 Reasons Why), and Damian Young (Amateur, Birdman, Ozark). F*cktoys premiered at SXSW in 2025 where it won a Special Jury Award. (106 mins., DCP)
Preceded by the high-energy short Seek No Favor. Monroe Malone is trying to outrun her anxiety and unemployment when she suddenly collides with an underground beauty supply cartel led by Big Baby and his Bundle Gang. Codirector Leilah Weinraub was a past resident in the Film/Video Studio with her groundbreaking documentary Shakedown (2017). (12 mins., DCP)
