The Squeaky Wheel will host a screening of I.K.U. (Shu Lea Cheang, Japan 2001, 90 min.) and a discussion with filmmaker Shu Lea Cheang titeld I.K.U. This is not Love. This is Sex.

Envisioned as a sequel to Blade Runner, the "Japanese sci-fi porn film" I.K.U. (74min, 2001) scandalized audiences when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Following the adventures of seven sexy replicants as they attempt to gather data for the I.K.U. system (which enables touchless orgasms), I.K.U. is a cyberpunk fuck film for the internet generation, made by visionary multi-media artist Shu Lea Cheang. The artist will be in person to deliver an introduction to her film.
