"Last Night on Botha" (1723 AN), a psychological horror thriller by Hans Backovic. Notably received a single screening at the Judah Film Festival before swiftly earning the singular distinction of being denied screening and distribution in every member state of the Community of Goldfield. Hans Backovic has subsequently sought to obtain crowdfunding for an online release but has complained bitterly of what he regarded as the censorship efforts of the FHP government, whom he claimed were acting officiously on behalf of their Benacian allies, a move he denounced as "corrupt and sinister".

Synopsis

Setting

The events of the film take place on the island of Botha, situated in the Bay of Chryse across the water from the eponymous city which serves as the capital of the Benacian Union. The island is home to the Bothan Institute, an elite Humanist Institute and finishing school for daughters of the officer corps of the Benacian Union Defence Force. Notoriously the girls are confined to the island for the entirety of their education unless accompanied by the infamous chaperones provided by the Women's Auxiliary Service.

Accordingly the last night spent on Botha is, for every graduating cohort, a momentous occasion.

However this film darkly postulates that the significance of the final night be far more and radically different than any of them might envisage.

Themes

Reaction

"A blistering, full frontal, assault on the misogynistic, necrotic, and pathological perversities of Humanism in the modern era. 'Last Night on Botha' is an unflinching expose of the dark realities that our indifference has allowed to take root in the world."
—Declaration of the judging panel at the Judah Film Festival, 1723 AN
