PODCAST | Laura Della Corte interviews Bruno Samper and Kristina Buozyte, directors of the film Vesper.
In the interview with Bruno Samper and Kristina Buozyte, directors of Vesper at Trieste Science and Fiction Film Festival we talked about the idea of privatization of living organisms. A few years ago, an American company patented a genetically modified seed called “terminator”. A seed that gave only one harvest and became sterile after that. Basically, a subscription system on the living plants. This idea is terrifying and fascinating at the same time.
Vesper: Set in a dystopian future after the collapse of the Earth’s ecosystem, 13-year-old Vesper must use her survival skills to subsist in the decaying remnants of the collapsed world with her ailing father, Darius. When Vesper finds a mysterious woman, Camellia, alone and disoriented after a jet crash, she agrees to help find her missing companion in exchange for being taken to the Citadel — the dark central hub where oligarchs use genetic technologies to rule. Now forced into a dangerous adventure, Vesper must rely on her wits and bio-hacking abilities to unlock the key to creating an alternate future.
