IN VITRO

2-Channel Sci Fi Short (Black and White)

Arabic with English subtitles

United Kingdom, State of Palestine, Denmark

 

In Vitro is a 2-channel Arabic-language sci-fi film filmed in black and white. It is set in the aftermath of an eco-disaster. An abandoned nuclear reactor under the biblical town of Bethlehem has been converted into an enormous orchard. Using heirloom seeds collected in the final days before the apocalypse, a group of scientists are preparing to replant the soil above.What happens when the physical world around you disappears in the blink of an eye, your residence has vanished, your country lies in ruins, and life as you knew it is no more? In Vitro is set in the aftermath of an eco-disaster. 

 

A unique contemplation on the themes of exile, trauma, and collective and individual memory.
