In a dim, cluttered laboratory, Dr. Michael Sieggombe, a single father and professor of biology, lectures his class on cancer and cell aging. The mood has been somber lately since his students learned of their professor’s condition — he is being consumed by the very disease he has spent the latter part of his life studying. But soon two mysterious and contradicting characters will emerge to turn his world upside down and he will be shown a path that will not only allow him to beat the cancer, but cheat death itself. I Become Gilgamesh is a fantastic tale intertwining modern science, classic mythology, passion, lust and immortality. This psychological thriller will have audiences on the edge of their seats, provoking those eternal questions: “What would you do to save your life? What would you do for immortality?”

Playing with the short film THE VISION

Directed by S.G. Nair
United States, 10 minutes

Suppose for a moment that we human beings have gone through many lifetimes. Now suppose that we carry on the memories we acquired in one life time to another. If it is possible, then it would explain why certain people remember vivid memories of facts and events that occurred many lifetimes ago in faraway lands without having ever been there. In The Vision, the protagonist experiences a vision of a traumatic and horrific incident that occurred more than 150 years ago. With the help of a psychologist and P.I., he uncovers a connection he could not have ever imagined. Friday, October 14th only
