SciFi Short Film, “Nora”

This is a very interesting science fiction movie that was created by Film London and the London Arts Council. It tells the story of a sentient android, Nora, who is sent on a mission to find something. She finds something very unexpected.

The concept is not entirely new but this is a good treatment of the core idea, the inherent conflict between humanity and the human-like machines it ultimately comes to rely upon.

The animation is pretty good. I am finding more and more well-made animated short films on the Internet. I don’t know what the software to create these kinds of films costs. I have seen some animation studio packages demonstrated at SF conventions but of course you can never see the full potential of any product (or all its flaws) in any demo.

The proof is in the pudding, as they say.
