The festival describes the film:

With TAMALA 2030: A PUNK CAT IN DARK, the mysterious Japanese writer/composer/director duo K. and kuno, known together as t.o.L (“trees of Life”), have resumed, recalibrated, and resolved their tale of the cutest girl-cat in dystopian Cat Tokyo, surpassing themselves in their control of the cryptic, complex, and cuddly chaos they've unleashed. The kawaii paradigm of Hello Kitty and Hatsune Miku collides with cabalistic capitalism, cataclysmic prophecy, and the ruptured realities of Lynch, Pynchon, and Philip K. Dick in a deviously dreamlike, metaphysical mind-melt of high-fructose, retro-futuristic, paranoid pop-art brilliance


I don't know if it's just me, but this is like the most off-putting description of a film I've heard in a while.

Tamala 2010 has a limited theatrical release in the US. I saw it in the theater when it came out. I found it self indulgent and dull, I‘m afraid, though i’d be willing to give it another chance.
