It sucks the energy right out of you

In Yotam Dor’s futuristic world, humans help power cars by donating their fat to have it turned into bio-diesel.

…A Modest Proposal: For Tomorrow’s Energy Crisis, Today, imagines the world in 2039, 19 years after the oil crash of 2020. In it, a cyclical process finds humans modifying their bodies monthly by eating foods that raise their body mass index, or BMI


“Sustainability only makes sense when we’re able to sustain ourselves and if we try to expand beyond ourselves to the point where we’re morbidly obese and need hip or knee replacements, isn’t that a harbinger of things to come?” says Dor, whose film premiered last Thursday at OCAD’s International Film Festival at Bloor Cinemas, and is available online at talkingcatproductions.net/modest/.
