We like to keep an eye on short films here at Libertas, so check out this interesting new short above from director Dennis Liu and writer Ryan Condal called Plurality. It went live earlier this week and as of this post has already received over 110,000 views.
Here’s the official synopsis of the film: “After the state of New York gives the police access to ‘The Grid,’ a new technology that allows people to purchase anything with a quick scan of their fingerprint, crime drops almost instantly. However, they also discover that certain people are popping up in two places at once.”
Although the film’s references to Michel Foucault and Jeremy Bentham are a bit on-the-nose (somebody’s been reading Discipline and Punish), Plurality otherwise does a nice job of illustrating how technology may already be leading us down a road to dystopia. Congratulations to the filmmakers, and a hat tip to the folks at io9.

The Black Tulip, Afghanistan’s entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 83rd Academy Awards, comes to Comcast, Time Warner, Cox, iTunes, Amazon, Xbox, Vudu, and Google Play on October 26th.
Set after the Taliban was routed from Afghanistan in early 2001, The Black Tulip tells the story of how the Mansouri family took advantage of the new window of freedom by opening a restaurant called “The Poet’s Corner” – with an open microphone and an inviting platform for all to read poetry, perform music and tell their stories. A modern portrait of Afghanistan that captures the current plight and resilience of its people, The Black Tulip gives a voice to the people of Afghanistan by telling their story through the eyes of an everyday family from Kabul, who remain hopeful despite constant struggle and tragedy.
Watch the trailer for The Black Tulip above, and read here what LFM’s Joe Bendel said about the film.
