Thirteen-year-old Mila Malinov wakes up alone in the back of a cab. Arriving at the densely packed apartment block of zone 21, she makes her way to her room as the watchful eye of the global government hovers above in the form of monitor drones. Across the courtyard, another set of eyes watches her, a protective Mother. Her room is small, cubed, and very simplistic. In her ear, a voice keeps her company. Her father, Darko Malinov checks in. He speaks to her through an earpiece making sure she’s okay. The next day, Mila visits the local bartering station that’s at the end of the long alley that hugs her apartment block. Currency in this world has resorted back to bartering, swapping items for other items. Mila finds a group of interested buyers and swaps a capacitor for some food, all while her father guides her. That night, she shares a meal with her father via voice, wishing that he was there instead. As Mila sleeps, a figure sneaks up to her door making Mila nervous.

DARMA

Sep 4, 2025

Darma is a visceral and unflinching short film that confronts the dark realities of abuse and power. With its brutal and blood-soaked sequences, the film delivers gripping action that heightens adrenaline, supported by dynamic and precise camera movements. At its core, Darma explores sexual abuse committed by those in positions of authority, individuals who not only perpetrate violence but also manipulate systems to conceal their crimes. The narrative also reflects on the power of media in shaping public opinion, and how such coverage can deeply affect the psychological state of survivors. With a runtime of 14 minutes, Darma is both urgent and impactful, pulling the audience into an uncomfortable yet necessary confrontation with truth, silence, and justice.

Smoker of the Future

Jan 1, 1985

This anti-smoking public information film has the kind of stylistic sheen often associated with 1980s British advertising, with its sci-fi setting, filtered smoke and gloomy aesthetics clearly inspired by the works of Ridley Scott (although it’s directed by his contemporary, Barry Myers). It imagines a genetically advanced future humanoid who’s evolved to be a ‘natural born smoker’ – complete with enlarged nostrils and tapping finger - before reminding us that no such creature yet exists. While we expect smoking adverts to be disturbing, the titular character is disquieting in a refreshingly unusual sense.
