Most speculative fable about futures where citizenry use bionic technology to augment their body asks interrogation about what it mean to be human when your body is increasingly manufactured . But Eddie Alcazar ’s Perfect , premiering at this year ’s SXSW , imagines a humans where bionics are designed to take thing by from people to become better reading of themselves .

In Perfect ’s first dawdler , we ’re inaugurate to Vessel 13 ( Garrett Wareing ) , a riotous boy who ’s haunted by worrying , violent vision that force back him to elect to undergo observational treatment designed to give him “ implantable equipment characteristic . ” The implants fulfil their promise of bring around Vessel 13 of his imagination , but the “ purity ” he feels — the utter absence left where the imaginativeness once dwelled — promise to become something even more consuming and severe .

The trailer ’s sparse in the direction of plot point , but it ’s pack full of arrest visuals and a fascinating scotch from Flying Lotus that make Perfect a film to keep on your radar .
