2025 🔵 BEST EXPERIMENTAL
EarthWorm
Directed by Phillip Barker
EarthWorm uses elements of dance, experimental film, and science fiction to create a modern cautionary tale.
In the film we meet the extraterrestrial Sean, who arrives on Earth in 1924.
Posing as a domestic labourer, he gets work at the Orphanage for Child Victims of the Industrial Revolution.
We discover Sean’s mission is to slow down the progress of human technology. However, confronted with ‘Earth’s pointless gravity’, Sean’s body weakens and he begins to float above the surface of the planet. This setback only hastens Sean’s mission as he continues to harvest samples from our planet: a domestic horse, a worm, and the very orphan children who have befriended him.
