Sci-Fi Short of the Week
This week’s science fiction short film is set in 2204 on a planet that has experienced 73 years of non-ending war. The Shaman has changed from healer to weapon of war. Another cheerful dystopia where humanity huddles in darkened basements and fights for survival. :-? In the film, every object is imbued with a soul. The Shaman can penetrate the souls of machines by entering a netherworld to bring down seemingly invincible hulking killing machines.
Violin playing a la Nero at the burning of Rome, heavy ordinance, and dream sequences turn this short into a satisfying ball-buster with both visual and emotional impact. Move out and draw fire.
