Feature Synopsis
A very smart and eerie film with some great ideas, Violentia takes us one step nearer to the potential of mind control and its consequences. – Sci-Fi-London Film Festival. 10 of the best at Sci-Fi-London 2018 – Sight & Sound Magazine.
A nano-tech engineer finds a way to recreate memories using nanobots. But when his daughter is killed in a school shootout, he enlists in a secret government program to find a cure for violence using a psychopath’s memories as testing ground. This leads him down a dark path where the lines between reality and memories begin to blur. Set in an alternate reality, the film is an exploration in violence through the eyes of Dr. Adam Anderson. In an increasingly violent world where humans are losing basic empathy, Adam watches violent acts around him but fails to act on it. When he does choose to act on it, it comes back to haunt him in worse ways. The constant cycle of violence where individual choices make all the difference — this is the mental state of VIOLENTIA.
