What happens

Monismanien 1995 är en svensk dramafilm från 1975 i regi av Kenne Fant. Filmen utspelar sig i en framtida totalitär enpartistat. I kölvattnet efter filmen instiftade Fant samma år Monismanienpriset, att delas ut till personer som gjort insatser för åsiktsfrihet och tar sitt namn från berättelsen. Författaren Astrid Lindgren lånade i sin tur det fiktiva landets namn till sin kritiska text Pomperipossa i Monismanien 1976. Filmen togs inte väl emot utan fick en hel del besk kritik.
