This was one of the hardest festival news articles I’ve had to write. Why? Because I can’t attend Sitges this year, and their line-up, always great, is even more stellar than usual.

Giving a whole new meaning to the phrase, “we took a pregnancy test,” Fleur Fortuné’s debut feature, The Assessment, is a saturated, button-pushing provocation on parental anxiety. It is a Kobayashi Maru wrapped in a Voight-Kampff test inside the Stanford Prison experiment. It even comes with its very own computer simulated Schrödinger’s cat. 

   Sometime in the future climate change has wreaked havoc on the planet. Nearly all the biomass has been wiped out to an unforgiving desert. In the madness of the apocalypse, for the survival of the human race, even the pets had to be culled. Now, the small number of Earth’s educated elites who survived have build artificial domes, with hydroponic gardens, and live in minimalist-abundant luxury, nearly immortal. The latter is…
