The mission of Fantastic Planet: Sydney Science Fiction and Fantasy Film Festival is to seek out and encourage bold speculative films that explore other imagined worlds, universes, and realities - new celluloid glimpses of alternative futures, pasts, and presents - and to showcase this fantastic cargo of cinema to Australian audiences. Fantastic Planet is delighted to present a choice sample of the 2009 festival at Revelation.
Eraser Children Director: Nathan Christoffel Australia 2009 81minsWinner of "Best Australian Film" at Fantastic Planet Film Festival 2009, Eraser Children is a compelling and visually arresting exploration of a macabre future. Imagining a dystopia of useless products, pre-paid dreams, and a system of 'violations' so invasive that if you laugh too loudly you will be fined, the film is reminiscent of the very best in cinematic Sci-Fi satire from Metropolis through Fahrenheit 451 to Terry Gilliam's Brazil.
Introduced by director Nathan Christoffel.
