Part of an anthology of sci fi stories, this short film imposed some thought-provoking questions about androids, their decision making and 'human emotions' ability, as well as some ethical dilemmas enriched with religion and filial piety elements.
Strong start, but a bit too much of an ending.

Part of an anthology of sci fi stories, this short film depicts the impact of interactive social media, school and cyber bullying, and how people create fake online personas in order to be liked and feel accepted.
With a stark setting, an eerie atmosphere and some intriguing symbolisms, this was a compelling and thought-provoking watch.

This short black & white film is a biopic of the life and art of Katsushika Hokusai, one of Japan's greatest artists, ukiyo-e painter and print-maker of landscape and floral art, erotic prints, caricatures and realistic everyday life scenes of the Edo period.
Though it would have been more captivating if it was filmed in colour, thus his beautiful prints
would have been given full life, it still is an interesting watching experience and introduction to his work.

Part of an anthology of sci fi stories, this short film was technically beautiful and its premise interesting, but the outcome was lukewarm and the romance underdeveloped. Not that bad, just a missed opportunity for something memorable.

Intense, fast-paced and impressive (though a bit confusing) short that had a documentaristic approach, but felt more like a teaser than a complete story.
It could have worked better if it was longer.
