About the Film
‘The Printer’ is a dark, satirical science fiction short film of 15 min. duration, that is set in the near future in a city in northern Europe. The film reveals a world where mankind has had to de-industrialize itself to keep its large unemployed population busy, by making them manually run basic machines in our everyday lives.
As a result, we are split, with people living seemingly normal lives on one side of the wall and the rest working, unseen on the other side. Our central character works inside a printer in a corporate office and one day makes the fatal mistake of contacting someone on the other side of the wall..
The old lines of racism are being replaced by new divisions of classism and ‘The Printer’ takes us further down such a dark path, showing it may not be so far away. The aim for this film ultimately is as a cautionary tale that hopes to create an awareness of the choices in front of us everyday.
