Title: Ergo Sum
Runtime: 9 min
Country: Canada
Director: George Marei
Placement: Honorable Mention
Competition: January, 2017
Synopsis: Ergo Sum challenges the modern conventions of the human psyche in a pseudo sci-fi setting, “I think, therefore I am” – Renee Descartes. But what limits the ego, what defines self consciousness? Can it be quantified? Replicated? Ergo Sum explores the future of intellect as a phenomenon, and the human condition through narrative storytelling. We will follow the intimate mind of Jim, as he experiences a challenge that ultimately not only protests his health, but begs for him to question his existence.
