On the Edge

A compendium of three short science-fiction films, each with a decidedly feminist slant.

Alice and the Little Green Men

A research psychologist attempts to make sense of a woman's claims of alien abduction through a sit-down interview and overnight observation.

Boléro

In a dystopian future where telepaths are deployed at the service of a militant regime, a mute girl takes revenge on her father's killer while simultaneously helping the resistance.

Only Human

Ordinary citizens now augment themselves with cybernetic implants and live alongside fully synthetic androids, who have taken over the bulk of humanities’ service positions. This bleeding-edge technology is all controlled by global corporations, with the most dominant being the Toronto-based tech-giant; Red Crow. As private investigator Duncan Reeves clings onto ideas of the past and distresses over his cybernetic arm obtained during past wars, a corporate murder and a mysterious woman make him question the lines between human and android.

To Be

Blending fantasy and reality, this animated short is a bold inquiry into an as yet unresolved problem - the nature of human identity. When a scientist creates a machine that can make copies of physical objects, including humans, a number of ethical questions arise. Is the technique moral? What of its safety? A film by Oscar-winning filmmaker John Weldon (who also wrote the catchy banjo tune that punctuates the story's changing moods).

Fast Color

A woman is forced to go on the run when her superhuman abilities are discovered. Years after having abandoned her family, the only place she has left to hide is home.

Storm

An unsuspecting user is sent through a turbulent series of splash portals when his government-enforced dating app malfunctions in the bathtub. Storm is set in the near future, where everyone has to live by the government’s Federal Relationship Compatibility Act – a policy which ensures that citizens are matched with only completely compatible individuals. If an individual cannot find a match which satisfies the government’s strict algorithm, they will be sentenced to a life alone in a permanent facility.

Corporate Monster

After being phased out of his job, a dangerously unstable man’s life spirals out of control when the prescription pills he takes start to have a side effect: they allow him to see the parasitic beings that have long been puppeteering our world from the shadows.

Časovnik

Anything can happen when a watch stops and a movie cuts.

Real Artists

In the near future, a young animator is offered what should be her dream job, but, when she discovers the truth of the modern 'creative' process, she must make a hard choice about her passion for film.

New Mars

Earth has been destroyed and the survivors have retreated to an underground city on Mars, preparing to head off to a new planet they hope to colonise.

Infocused

A group of students finds themselves in an academic environment, which hides a terrifiying danger. Should they stay? Where to expect a menace from? What would happen if they try to leave? Students are forced to find it all out by themselves, without getting any hints.

Battle at Big Rock

A family's camping trip at Big Rock National Park becomes a terrifying fight for survival.

The Wheel

Sometime in the near future, paraplegic prison inmate Matt Mills meets "The Board" of Satoshi-Telefair Industries, who thank him for joining the Program. Under pressure and with a promise to make him walk again, Mills agrees to volunteer. He is injected with a synthetic nanomaterial and suffocated, only to wake up with restored use of his legs, yet alone in a steel cell in the first spoke of an experimental apparatus - The Wheel. A series of assailants inflict a multitude of damage to Mills' body and torment his mind, yet the synthetic nanomaterial not only restores his damaged organs, it re-engineers his strength. The experiment might be designed to kill, but Mills is determined to survive - and get back to his daughter before The Board finds her first.

I Think We're Alone Now

After a catastrophe destroys most of humanity, recluse Del lives in his small, empty town, content with the utopia he has methodically created for himself, until an interloper, young Grace, disrupts his solitude.
