In Vitro

In Bethlehem, decades after an ecological disaster, the dying founder of an underground orchard engages in a dialogue with her young successor, born underground and has never seen the town she is destined to replant and repopulate.

Set decades after an ecological disaster has engulfed the biblical city of Bethlehem, In Vitro, is a black and white speculative sci-fi short blends stunning visuals with several complex themes to make for an original, absorbing watch. Screened at the BFI London and Locarno film festivals in 2019 and co-directed by Palestinian artist Larissa Sansour and Danish author Søren Lind this slow-paced, dialogue-driven approach to science-fiction won't be to everyone's taste. Still, it is one of the most memorable and distinct genre shorts we have seen in some time.
