A glimpse into a future where technology has made us forget how to use our basic senses has scooped three awards at the inaugural Setting Sun Short Film Festival.
Senseless, directed by filmmaker Roman Meyer, received awards for best director, best screenwriter and best western suburbs film.
Anna Bourozikas (pictured), director of the festival held at Yarraville’s Sun Theatre over the weekend, said it had attracted many quality entries despite being only in its first year.
“All the finalists were of a high standard, but three in particular presented films of a high story-telling and production standard.”
Bourozikas praised Meyer’s film for being beautifully directed, shot and edited.
“Roman’s film showed great restraint in telling his unique and timely story.”
Other winners included Second Chance (best animation, best non-west film) and Tofu Man (best documentary, best cultural diversity and people’s choice), directed by Sunshine’s Andrew Robb.
