BLINK OF AN EYE
SHORT FILM PROGRAMME
SCI-FI-LONDON loves short film! We think short film is perfect for science fiction, it
gives filmmakers the chance to play with ideas and high concepts without having to
add drama for the sake of filling ninety minutes. We’ve watched hundreds of films and
selected our favourites! We hope you can make it one of our shorts programmes at
Stratford Picturehouse - see them on the big screen!
THE REPLACEMENT
BEST SHORT FILM 2018
THE REPLACEMENT (SHORTS 1)
(Dir. Sean Miller. 17mins, 2017, United States.)
Some days, don’t you think that in a parallel universe there must
be a better version of you? Well, in this smart film, your clones
can be better than you! On election night 2036, a janitor feels
cheated out of a life he might have lived when his own clone
becomes President. We loved this film.
