30
Written, directed and produced by Peter Koevari
Winner, Best Sci-Fi Short, South Film and Arts Academy Festival 2024. 6 wins and 3 nominations on IMDb.
In a world of mass infertility, Eva, a lower class woman, must secure the costly treatment to become pregnant and have a chance to finish ground-breaking research against the poison agent, before she would face execution at age thirty.
[T]his is one of the most complete shorts I've seen this year.
This is one of the most polished and professional shorts we've received, and I would absolutely watch a longer version.
A well-crafted dystopian film captivates audiences by blending chilling realism with thought-provoking themes, immersing viewers in a hauntingly familiar world that compels them to reflect on the fragility of freedom and the resilience of the human spirit.
This is awesome. Very beautiful and poetic. The emotional intelligence required to make something like this is very impressive
Director's statement
Project 30 is the most poetic film I've ever made, and is inspired by the world's progression and potential darker future outcomes, as well as films and tv series I absolutely adored in this genre, such as Handmaid's Tale, and Children of Men. I wanted to bring my own voice into this genre and this project was born.
