After a catastrophic event that ruins Bethlehem, a woman reminiscences the past and history.
Directed by Soren Lind and Larissa Sansour, In Vitro is a post-apocalyptic Sci-fi short film with interesting cinematography and a tense story. Inside of a bunker, a scientist and her successor question each other on the repopulation and recreation of a now extinct Bethlehem. The two scientists reminiscence of what Bethleham was like before the eco-disaster and recall memories from their past. Past beliefs, history, rituals, morals and the repetition of imagery of Bethlehem are examined throughout the film.
The cinematography for the film was done well. The black and white filter gave the film a depressing tone/mood, a dark hopeless feel for the short film. The camera work was also interesting. The split screens showing a variety of angles during certain scenes gave a unique point of view for the viewer.
In Vitro was visually unique and had an interesting concept. A heavy thought-provoking short film that many might not have an interest in.
