Flee 2012

Directed by Rosa Aiello

A man wakes in a sea of sand dunes. He clutches a metal suitcase as if it holds something of great value. In the distance looms a distorted and inhuman city from which the man has apparently fled. An experiment in science-fiction/mystery, Flee wonders how many possible histories and possible futures can be implied in a single minute. This film was made as part of the 8th edition of the NFB's Hothouse apprenticeship.
