THE GENERATORS | BFI
Eco-drama, Dystopia
13 mins
Set in a time of extreme energy poverty, one man struggles to support his ailing husband. A story of humanity in a future we can change.
A live action short film supported by BFI NETWORK with NATIONAL LOTTERY FUNDING. Produced by Over the Fence films and Lonely Kite, the short film was created in a unique partnership with Cinelab Film & Digital, Kodak and Girls in Film, which will culminate in a series of events showcasing the female talent behind the film.
Starring Matthew Needham (House of the Dragon) and Screen Star of Tomorrow Rory Fleck Byrne (Dope Girls, In Camera), the film is an urgent, poetic and heartwrenching take on physical and pshyological strain of the climate crisis. It is set to begin its festival run in the autumn.
