A young boy rides through his memories in this early student-made sci-fi effects film.

A great little sci-fi film I found via our friends at Ticklebooth. A perfect dramatization of some of the spiritual/emotional issues still to be worked out as medicine moves forward. Directed by Thomas Fosselli & Fredrik A. G. Sundbye at the National Film School of Norway, the film clocks in at a short 3:30 minutes and features some awesome set and info design. I’m not a fan of the epigraph, but all in all about as textbook an example as you can find of taking an interesting concept and executing it with skill and brevity. Deserves to be seen by more people.

Sondhi approaches films from the perspective of an uber-fan, knowledgeable film academic, and occasional filmmaker. His tendency to over-think his film criticisms is due to a background in Philosophy, but he is putting useless intellectualizing aside for this site.
