Set in Mexico City sometime in the future and starring US actor Brian Petsos and Mexican actress Sofia Sisniega, SUNDAYS is an ambitious philosophical science-fiction proof-of-concept short. The end of the world seems like a nightmare to Ben. A memory of a past life that doesn’t belong to him. When Ben starts to remember Isabelle, the only love he’s ever known, he realises she’s missing in his life. An existential descent into confusion and the desperate need to find out the truth begins. This reality depicts a stunning, surprising and dark world. A world that is clearly not his.

Picked off another Stash Short Film Festival Block on Kanopy (3 short films per block - counts as 1 credit). I like this one even if it’s not entirely clear as to what is happening (certainly the themes of love and loss are present). It reminded me a lot of District 9. The digital FX are p good and meld really well with the cityscape of Mexico City. The look of the soldiers is also very nice and works with the futuristic environment.
