Internationally acclaimed Toronto based video artist Daniel Cockburn’s début feature is funny, disturbing, and thought-provoking; a smartly-crafted commentary on our modern day existence.

From the outset of this refreshing film you question what is going on, but pay attention to the opening because it is more relevant than it seems. Slowly the film reveals itself, like one of those childhood folded paper fortune tellers, where you are never sure what is going to come next.

Comprised of interconnected mini-narratives, the film’s characters find themselves trapped in bizarre social experiments of their own making. Described as a ‘metafictional puzzler’ in reviews, the film is a remarkable example of sci-fi giving freedom to veer away from a traditional narrative format. Enjoy figuring it out!

One of the strengths of SCI-FI-LONDON is that we can provide a platform for brilliant independent films that are rarely shown outside the festival circuit, mainly because they are too hard for distributors to define. This is one of those films. Enigmatic and totally compelling, it is one of the must see films of the festival.

Winner of the Jay Scott Prize, Toronto Film Critics Association.
