The filmSynopsis
In a world of mass infertility, Eva, a lower class woman, must secure the costly treatment that would let her become pregnant, and with it the chance to finish ground-breaking research against the poison agent, before she faces execution at the age of thirty. In a dying world, she holds the key to life. 30 is written, directed and produced by Peter Koevari: his most poetic film, a vision of a darker future in the line of The Handmaid's Tale and Children of Men.
In his wordsDirector's statement
Project 30 is the most poetic film I've ever made, and is inspired by the world's progression and potential darker future outcomes, as well as films and tv series I absolutely adored in this genre, such as Handmaid's Tale, and Children of Men. I wanted to bring my own voice into this genre and this project was born.
[T]his is one of the most complete shorts I've seen this year.
This is one of the most polished and professional shorts we've received, and I would absolutely watch a longer version.
A well-crafted dystopian film captivates audiences by blending chilling realism with thought-provoking themes, immersing viewers in a hauntingly familiar world that compels them to reflect on the fragility of freedom and the resilience of the human spirit.
This is awesome. Very beautiful and poetic. The emotional intelligence required to make something like this is very impressive
