Overview

The Film Unit at Sheffield University Union of Students produced many fascinating films during the 1950s, β€˜60s and β€˜70s. This one, with its surreal landscapes and alarmingly prescient storyline, is definitely on the imaginative outer limits of their collection. It has five men on the run from a controlling state organisation that is capturing the population on 3D film images, thereby making everyone dispensable.
