quietearth [Film Festival 03.23.09] movie news scifi



That's right folks, the low-budget Aussie mindtrip Eraser Children we've been championing will be having it's world premier at the Sci-Fi London Film Festival! Yes we're excited as our very own London correspondent, Ben Austwick, will be there to provide a review. I should also mention that I've seen the first third of the film (minus the vfx, sound, etc..) and while I'm not going to give anything away, I'll say HAIL MISNER!

In a world of useless products, police brutality, pre-paid dreams and a list of Violations so long if you laugh too loudly you wll be fined, Misner Corporation has invented a new source of energy which has given them a global monopoly on all facets of human life, creating a totalitarian society ruled by one man, Misner.

Anyone not willing to work for Misner's regime, lives underground in a dark world of insane 'system dropouts'. Only coming above ground for the 1 hour of darkness which takes place each day, when a giant ball of rubbish floats between the Sun and the Earth.

Finnegan Wright, a lower level worker at Misner Corp. is taken on an enthralling journey when orced to live underground by one of the 'System dropouts' who convinces Finnegan that he can change the fate of the world by killing Misner.

A satire which comments on the way humans are so easily foolted into buying products they don't need, having ridiculous jobs and worshipping leaders that have no respect for the planet and everything in it.

Teaser and message from Misner after the break.
