The new wave of sci-fi indies, which prove that the genre actually has a lot more to offer than lightsabers and quirky aliens, gets a new and thoughtful addition with Claire Carré's “Embers“.

The film stars Jason Ritter and Iva Gocheva and depicts a not-so-distant future, where a global neurological epidemic left the survivors struggling to connect to a world without memory. “Embers“ is wrapping up this years Slamdance Festival and you can watch a first trailer below.
