Hokum

A sly, shape-shifting satire that blurs the line between performance and deception, HOKUM is a wickedly entertaining provocation about the stories we tell to survive. Set in a world where authenticity has become its own kind of spectacle, the film follows a struggling illusionist who stumbles into a web of grifters, true believers, and manufactured myths. By turns absurd, suspenseful, and unexpectedly poignant, HOKUM pulls off a dazzling cinematic trick: exposing the artifice around us while revealing the very real longing that lies beneath it. Sharp, playful, and impossible to pin down, this is one of 2026’s most inventive and exhilarating hidden gems.
