Nine Awaken

2025 · 12 min · AI Films, Animation, Sci-Fi · Directed by Bun Kwai, Amos Why

A man keeps a micro space station running to a schedule he has never questioned, on a moon orbiting a planet he never looks at. She turns up intending to break the routine, and the film is about whether that counts as rescuing him. Directed by Amos Why, whose live-action features have played Berlinale, with Bun Kwai — a ten-minute cut of a twenty-minute production.
