Mars Futures

Unclassified 18+

Dir. Hannah Moore / 2024 / 14 mins / Australia / English / Drama, Sci-Fi / World Premiere

A young woman, dissatisfied with life, makes a radical choice: to move to Mars.

Doomscrolling her way through life, from deadening workdays to lonely nights on the couch, Ana feels lost. That is, until she arrives at an out-of-this-world decision. Co-written by director Hannah Moore and star Lucy Moir, Mars Futures’ near-future parable dramatises the dangers of yearning for escape rather than tackling one’s problems.
