Atlas

Meet Atlas: a two-tonne hunk of metal programmed solely to chop trees. The year is 2090: most labour-intensive jobs have been efficiently mechanized by robots, and in Atlas’ case, wood logging. However, being a robot tasked solely as a lumberjack is no easy feat. Being one of the first of its kind, there are a few bumps in the system; despite his seemingly large build and powerful tools, he still finds himself in unfortunate scenarios that lead to his death. Never fear though as luckily for Atlas, his programming is uploaded to The Cloud, snapping back to normal in an instant. Until there is a problem with the system...

The Very Thought of You

Set 10,000 years after the myth of Chang-E’s ascension onto the Moon, ‘The Very Thought of You’ centers around the hallucinatory experience of a Moon refugee who was broken out of his cryo-vacuum stasis by reasons unknown. In his helpless and delirious state, the man began wondering if he was really hearing the voice message of an ex-lover who he had to abandon in a bid for personal survival. The boundaries between freedom and restriction, past and present, individualism and collectivism, will blur and may even dissolve, in this dusky corner of the Moon.

ANIMAL CONDENSED>>ANIMAL EXPANDED#2

The director couldn’t have anticipated the coronavirus epidemic, but here is a near-future world in which a middle-class protagonist lives indoors, congratulating himself on the economic virtues of having ingested ‘animal condensed’ – an unexplained substance that seems to merge human and animal – and its benefits to his comfortably alienated life. “It optimises, it abstracts… it made us safe, here at home, with our accelerated portfolios”, he explains. Upstairs, his daughter virtually reconfigures Peppa Pig. Outside, meanwhile, hiding in the forest, is an unnamed, camouflaged fugitive, who explains her escape from a society that seems to have happily abolished the distinction between organic and technological life. An artist who has become a guerrilla fighter, the woman is busy preparing totem-like countermeasures to disrupt those who have become ‘animal expanded’.

Doomsday

Science fiction film influenced by the style of inter-war European art cinema. Agricultural workers become aware of a strange phenomenon in the sky. People in rural locations discuss their observations. No-one knows what it is. Awareness of the phenomenon spreads; wildfires burn on heaths and panic is reported by newspapers. In the city, newspapers carry stories of earthquakes and changes affecting ‘the planets’. Extreme weather conditions are experienced. The changes are discussed on the streets. The day of final judgement is predicted by some. Uncertain of what is happening people hide indoors. A new day dawns and people venture outside. A large bright object fills the sky, collides with and destroys the earth. (East Anglian Film Archive)
