The Gift

Posted by    |    January 8th, 2013 at 4:18 pm

In 4 minutes and 37 seconds this short film offers up a narrative and chase scene worthy of a  full length action movie. Set in Moscow, Russia the film takes place during an undisclosed point in the future. This chronological setting is established early through brief sightings of a robotic animal,  police dressed in such a manner that you can’t really tell if they’re fully human and what appear to be their space faring vehicles just sitting in the background. Even though with these elements we can tell it’s the future, the rest of the city looks to still be in present day Moscow and there is never any explanation as how or why it came to the futuristic state it’s in.

Anachronism

As two children go about their day joyfully collecting and documenting the plants and animals of earth like young scientists, they stumble upon a mysterious squid. The mystery deepens as they discover that the squid not an organic creature at all but a mechanical squid that acts as a transportation vessel for what would appear to be an alien child.Set in the 1800′s, this film is definitely a visual treat as you watch the children utilize almost forgotten methods of documentation, walk through lush sunny forests in their perfect period piece costumes and then stumble upon the cleverly designed mechanical squid. While through the majority of this film we get a positive feeling of charming and youthful curiosity from the main characters, the film ends on a much more somber note with the mother of the children having a less than enthusiastic reaction to their discovery.
