Information

ICARUS is the launch short film for an independent science fiction feature film being produced in Dubai. Both the short film & feature film are set approximately 20 years in the future and explore a fictional future where the internet has been destroyed in a global disaster and replaced by a centralised and heavily controlled system. 


The film explores questions of who should control our information & connections to one another in an increasingly AI-driven society where mankind is sharply divided between those who have access to technology and those who do not, and where the creativity & freedom of expression which underpins the internet is nowhere to be found.


Video Auditions will be Conducted as the first step. 

Final Sequences for the film will be shooting in mid-April.
