These short films are a comprehensive collection about the future of the body. Film magazine Revolver challenged the filmmakers with the question “Is this man the master of his fate and the fate of the master of the people? What effects will result from the perfection of humans and nature?”

The six teams were given complete artistic and creative freedom to address the theme. “We wanted the filmmakers to make very different films and interpretations of the topic. We hope that the harmony and dissonance of the thes films, the filmmakers and their philosophies produce some real substance with their wide range of cinematic approaches.”
-Benjamin Heisenberg, revolver
