SCI-FI - Australian Shorts
Nine short films that exhibit ambition, vision and daring, as only Australian filmmakers can. COME WITH ME - A bored couple is trying to decide what to have for dinner when a portal to another dimension opens in their living room. FUSION - The creation of humanity’s first teleportation device raises moral questions that cause tension with the scientific team. CONTACT TRACE - A hybrid, genre-hopping work that blends dystopian near-fi/sci-fi with the anguish of real life, provocatively weaving actual experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic with an imagined tale from the future. Narrated by Jack Charles. THE SCHWARZSCHILD RADIUS - An astronaut delivers one last message as he approaches a black hole. VR GRAMPA - When his granddaughter brings a VR headset, Gramps dives into some truly ‘Unreal’ adventures. THE FIRST WAVE - A family driving along a quiet country road are about to have a close encounter of the third kind. MEET DR WILSON - Quantum physicist, Henry Wilson is stalked by a former colleague who is hellbent on stealing a new scientific project. A/V - An operative of a mysterious government agency explores a hostile realm to recover a fellow agent before he is lost forever. ERASED - On Mars, The Erasure Institute promises to remove suffering through a painless but permanent procedure, which is “encouraged and sometimes enforced.” Cate begins to believe that voluntary erasure is her only way out. Can love be erased?
