Free Zone

A woman wanders through a maze of storage units, looking for her clones. This was the winning entry of an international challenge in 2003 where directors were asked to make a five-minute short film utilizing a randomly selected film title, prop, and line of dialog. At the end of the 48 hours, 180 teams completed and submitted films.

Directed by Clement Gharini, Free Zone leans on a strong ensemble — Annabel Davis, Katrina Viksna — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 2013.
