"The 3rd Letter" by Grzegorz Jonkajtys

During its 15 min runtime, The 3rd Letter presents the Orwellian vision of the future "where humans utterly depend on bio-mechanical alteration to withstand the deteriorating climate".

It is an amazing sci-fi film, open to interpretation and full of a rare, bleak beauty.

You can link the movie with the book Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. You can present some memorable quotes from the book, such as:

1. "If you want a picture of a future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face"
2. “War is peace.
   Freedom is slavery.
   Ignorance is strength.” 
3. “Big Brother is Watching You.”
4. “Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.” 
5. And highlight one of the best opening line ever: “It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.”
