Soulmate (2020)

IMDb meta-data is runtime 16 m 15 s, rated 6.8 by 13 cinematizens.    

Genre: Sci Fi

Verdict: Dystopia is so yesterday.    

A SyFy short from DUST filmed mid-winter in a bleak Bulgaria where tweenagers beat each other to death to control population growth. Reminds of some Saturday morning television competitive game shows. It doesn’t make sense but there it is.  

Not on the IMDb. Too bad, because it is well made even if the plot is obvious.  I did find a Facebook page according to which the production is Australian. Its premier was in Sydney at 2021 Flickerfest with these production credits, Director and writer: Nik Kacevski and Producer: Christopher Seeto.  

I checked IMDb again and since my first check, it has been added, hence the meta-data above.

While I watched this sitting at my desk, I would have disliked paying to watch it and being trapped in a theatre. I got film festivals out of my system a long time ago, and glad to remain free of that monkey.
