Here is a 99-minute collection of science fiction comedy and dramatic shorts from around the world.
JETTISON: A restless young woman ships off to fight an interstellar war, only to struggle with the effects of being cut off from her home by both time and space.
COLOSSUS: A young Navy pilot’s life is shattered after being shot down by a UFO in World War II. Consumed by obsessive fear and hatred, he sets out on a quest to find and kill the creature that put him burning into the sea.
GOD IN THE SKY: When a cosmic entity suddenly appears in the sky one day, sending everyone on Earth 'visions of the afterlife' - Dee, a teenage girl suffers a crisis of faith when she doesn't receive any visions at all. As life begins to return to a new 'normal', Dee attempts to reconcile her complicated emotions with the world around her.
UFO: A night marked on the calendar, two friends, a lot of food and the hope of seeing a UFO. Between bites, Lorena and Cristina chat about human relationships, their fears and aliens.
IGNITION: When the sun starts dying, an apathetic young man will have to do something he's never done before to reignite it and save his girlfriend's garden: try. Also build a rocket, learn nuclear fusion and launch himself into the sun, but mostly, try.
SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE: Through a series of dreams and visions, a woman begins to suspect reality has been altered by mysterious forces.
RESTORE: A post-apocalyptic, sci-fi drama about the last man on earth. Jason acquires holographic spheres to recreate a special memory with his partner Brian. In the process, Jason realizes that memories contain good and bad pieces and it can only be true if both sides are included.
THE JELLYFISH'S BLOOD: Dr. Vincent Dubreuil is being interviewed because he was recently awarded a Nobel prize for his recent revolutionary findings on the gene responsible for aging. This gene, derived from the DNA of a self-regenerating jellyfish, could theoretically allow rejuvenation of other more complex living organisms. In French with English subtitles.
NORTH CAROLINA PREMIERE!
A post-apocalyptic, sci-fi drama about the last man on earth. Jason employs holographic tech to recreate a special memory with his partner, Brian. But, to rebuild the old world, he must put back all of the pieces.
Director Biography - Vyky Saiz
The daughter of a Dominican and Uruguayan, Vyky has travelled extensively and started her career in the classroom. She always valued the opportunity to shift perspectives: her own, those of her high school students, and, eventually through film, those of whole generations. Vyky is in training as a director at Florida State University's College of Motion Picture Arts. Her deadpan, laser focus often misconstrues her deep love for people and community.
