BLOGGERS FRI 4 MAY 11.00PM STRATFORD PICTUREHOUSE Dir: Angel M. Chivite, Alberto Estévezr Year: 2017 Language: Spanish/ English subtitles Runtime: 73 Country: Spain The year is 2078 and the Earth’s energy sources are exhausted. Nuclear and renewables can’t cope with demand. Meanwhile, a new power source, ‘Coltan’ has been discovered on Mercury and mining has started, run by a multinational conglomerate. Helena is the Captain of a ship returning from the mines, it should be routine but things on-board are not what they seem. This Spanish film swims in the memories of many a great ‘space’ movie. At times gory and chilling, the modesty of the budget is impossible to detect, and the set design is really cool. We love a good space slasher and this is a very solid example. UK PREMIERE 8 THE LONDON INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASTIC FILM 1 — 7 MAY 2018
PRECOGNITION Ripe technologies are a pseudogovernmental organisation which appear to be trying to create a safer and fairer world with new implant technology. Negative thought and memories have been removed, people are given careers and relationships they ‘deserve’ based on an in-app Karma rating system. This world in which every citizen lives connected to Ripe’s system seems almost perfect, at least on the surface. But the digital utopia is not without its ghosts. Soon the reality with which the characters surround themselves starts to unravel, as the true nature of the world surfaces. Samantha, who secretly works for Ripe and manipulates memories, discovers her husband James beginning to experience visions of a woman he doesn’t recognise. Unable to correct James’ visions, Samantha puts her life on the line. Solid scifi story that shows what low-budgets can achieve.
