Find yourself enraptured by worlds beyond imagination. This dedicated block of sci-fi films pushes the boundaries of the human experience as characters are forced to journey beyond the earth we know. These eight films obliterate our understanding of how humans experience life with off-planet communities, technology, flora, and fauna.

A pair of lovers, one of whom is a humanoid, go to a robot repair shop hoping to have their relationship mended by the mechanic. On his advice, the human owner Jackie agrees to an irreversible upgrade for Tammy, her humanoid soulmate. However, the results are not as expected. ANIMA POSSESSION is an intricate and delicate short which explores human-on-human, human-on-humanoid, and humanoid-on-humanoid love relationships and what it means to be soulmates.
