About us
Screening two Southwest made short films, followed by a Q&A and Networking Drinks.
Level 10: Wild Wild West - Directed by Isabella Esposito
The story is set 30/40 years into the future where the health service becomes almost completely inaccessible to the working class, with wait times to see a GP rising to 10 years. That is until a tech company emerges. Vitatech medical creates revolutionary virtual reality technology that gives people scans and diagnoses by pulsing a signal through every synapse. They expedite prescriptions and treatment by doctors for the fraction of the price of private healthcare. When over half of the population is hooked, game developers see an opportunity and a multi-level game is created where players go through authentic physical strain. Each level is harder than the last, and elite gamers compete world wide to be the first to pass Level 10:Wild Wild West. If you are shot in the game, and your pain setting is on 'Real', you will really feel like you have been shot. Only die-hard players set the pain that high to motivate them to pass the level. The protagonist of this story, is Mog- a player amongst many in the game with an unhealthy obsession: passing Level:10 Wild Wild West. When she becomes the first player to pass, level 11 is not what she expected. She uncovers a catastrophic fault in the software.
This film is about working class people, obsession and what can happen when powerful technology ends up in the wrong hands. Its our hopes and fears for the future and the potential implications of our ever increasing dependence for technology.
The Breakwater- Directed by Sam McLoughlin
