    I was really surprised when my science fiction short was selected at the International Ecological Film Festival TO SAVE AND PRESERVE. Indeed it was made with a similar theme as it's context but with an outlandish treatment that the genre allows. My sincere thanks to the festival authorities for this oppurtunity.
