The Robots of Brixton

The Robots of Brixton ist ein wunderschöner Kurzfilm. Die Geschichte handelt davon dass in nicht allzu ferner Zukunft Roboter in der Nachbarschaft in Brixton, nahe London leben. Um dort die Arbeiten zu verrichten welche wir Menschen nicht wirklich gerne machen…

So kam diese Storyline schon öfters in dem ein oder anderen Film vor, sind wir mal gespannt wie es diesmal ausgeht. Verantwortlich für diesen Kurzfilm ist übrigens Kibwe Tavares.

Brixton has degenerated into a disregarded area inhabited by London’s new robot workforce – robots built and designed to carry out all of the tasks which humans are no longer inclined to do. The mechanical population of Brixton has rocketed, resulting in unplanned, cheap and quick additions to the skyline.

The film follows the trials and tribulations of young robots surviving at the sharp end of inner city life, living the predictable existence of a populous hemmed in by poverty, disillusionment and mass unemployment. When the Police invade the one space which the robots can call their own, the fierce and strained relationship between the two sides explodes into an outbreak of violence echoing that of 1981.
