Fresh, original, thought-provoking

I was lucky to catch short film 'Eject' by up-and-coming director David Yorke on the big screen at Starburst International Film Festival 2020. It certainly catches the attention from the onset, though I expected a body-horror type film with the growth-scratching initially! As a bit of a scaredy-cat I was relieved to see it take a more 'The Matrix'-esque sci-fi turn. Lead Elena Saurel plays Kate, a young woman who learns she has the unexpected ability to literally reorganise her mind: become fluent in languages she hasn't thought about since French classes at school, and discard bad memories and experiences. But, in her enthuasiasm for gaining the most out of this newfound skill, she forgets the universal rules of balance and consequences. The film does A LOT in a short span of time, the cinematography and SFX are very well-done and striking, and the fresh, original and thought-provoking concept certainly promise big things to come for the team involved. Highly recommend!

a parable

A young woman discovering in her arm, a USB port. The consequence, a fascinating trip across the new abilities, science, memories. Beautiful cinematography, great special effects and a moral reminding the tales of hakawati. An admirable, at each level, short film about the price, very high, of the power and radical changes, unique gift and the result of very sensitive adventure.
