Tacoma writer/director/photographer/editor/animator Isaac Olsen’s expressionistic art film follows the exploits of an elusive “creature boy” who terrorizes a rural German township. This creature, naive but murderous, spends his days lurking in the woods and satisfying his lust for human flesh as an inspector from Frankfurt sets out to hunt him down. Olsen employs a visual cornucopia of moods, textures, and themes with miniatures, animation, water tank photography, and other techniques. With an international cast of non-actors speaking in German with English subtitles, this mostly black-and-white nod to German expressionism moves closer to the field of abstraction and transforms a simple narrative into a true sensory experience.

Plot

Ich Hunger is an expressionistic German art film about a 'creature boy' who terrorizes a small farming township. Frankfurt Inspector Stephen Heckle has been tracking this elusive creature for years, but when It becomes apparent that the creature has ended his constant migration and settled in Frondenberg, Stephen must leave the bustling city and confront him face to face in the deepest darkest reaches of the forest. Part Gothic horror and part psychedelic dream-scape; Ich Hunger is a feast for the senses.
