quietearth [Celluloid 10.13.08] movie news scifi



Zoltán Verebes goes by the pseudonym Pater Sparrow who was famous for his short films in Hungary and went on to study at the London Film School. This is his first feature which is currently in post-production. Based on the work One Human Minute by world famous Polish scifi author Stanislaw Lem, the story unfolds somewhere in the 21st century.

"A bookshop renowned for its rare works is mysteriously and completely filled with copies of a book entitled 1, which doesn’t appear to have a publisher or author. The strange almanac describes what happens to the whole of humanity in the space of a minute. A police investigation begins and the bookshop staff are placed in solitary confinement by the Bureau for Paranormal Research (RDI Reality Defense Institute). As the investigation progresses, the situation becomes more complex and the book increasingly well known, raising numerous controversies (political, scientific, religious and artistic). Plagued by doubts, the protagonist has to face facts: reality only exists in the imagination of individuals."

There are a bunch of stills as well as "moodboards" for the film after the break, so enjoy as it looks like it's going to be visually lush!
