From the Judges, on THE GREAT ABYSS (2024)

From the Judges, on THE GREAT ABYSS

A speculative short that carries the exploration of AI a step further, with a premise the panel found genuinely original. The visual effects work on a large scale while the cinematography stays close and personal with the characters, and that combination struck them as breathtaking. Believable performances and a real sense of production value carry the emotion of the piece through to the end.

Curated, anonymised highlights drawn from the judges' notes.
