“The South African covid lock-down was announced one week into the shoot, and the crew had to pack up the whole show. Some went back to Cape Town, some stayed behind in the forest. Everyone drifted in uncertainty for a long time. The content of the film had such an uncanny resonance to what was happening in the world.” (trivia)

1846 – Æon Flux

timespace coordinates: Æon Flux (imdb) is set in a surreal German Expressionist style futuristic universe of the year 7698 AD. Æon Flux is comprised of a bizarre post-apocalyptic dystopian world of a barren wasteland, mutant creatures, clones, and robots within the last two border wall cities of Monica and Bregna (similar to the Berlin wall) somewhere in former Eastern Europe after an environmental catastrophe occured that wiped out 99 percent of the global population. The title character is a tall, sexy, dominatrix scantily-clad secret agent from the city of Monica, skilled in espionage, assassination and acrobatics. Her mission is to infiltrate the strongholds of the city of Bregna, which is led by her sworn enemy, and sometimes lover, Trevor Goodchild, the technocratic dictator of Bregna. The two sister cities engage in a futile never ending war for ideological supremacy; while Monica represents a dynamic nihilistic anarchist society where rules don’t exist, Bregna embodies a centralized scientific planned Orwellian police state. The names of their respective characters reflect this: Flux as the self-directed agent from Monica and Goodchild as the self-appointed leader of Bregna.

The term Æon comes from the Gnostic notion of Æons as emanations of the God, who come in male/female pairs (here Flux and Goodchild).

Æon Flux /ˌɒn ˈflʌks/ is an American avant-garde science fiction animated television series that aired on MTV from November 30, 1991 until October 10, 1995, with film, comic book, and video game adaptations following thereafter. It premiered on MTV’s Liquid Television experimental animation show, as a six-part serial of short films, followed in 1992 by five individual short episodes. In 1995, a season of ten half-hour episodes aired as a stand-alone series.  Æon Flux was created by American animator Peter Chung. Each Episode plots have elements of social science fictionbiopunkallegorydystopian fictionspy fictionpsychological dramapostmodern visual, psychedelic imagery and Gnostic symbolism.


timespace coordinates: In 2011, a deadly pathogenic virus has killed 99% of the Earth’s population, forcing the survivors to regroup and scatter across the Earth. 404 years later, in late 2415, all of the survivors inhabit Bregna, a dystopian walled futuristic city-state, which is ruled by a congress of scientists.

The live-action movie Æon Flux (imdb), loosely based upon the series and starring Charlize Theron, was released in theaters on December 2, 2005, preceded in November of that year by a tie-in video game of the same name (Gameplay) based mostly on the movie but containing some elements of the original TV series.
