Nova

Overview

Nova follows the story of a computer scientist engaged in a secretive international project; as part of his experiments he uses his son, who is accidentally turned into a digital version of himself and trapped in an eternal cyberspace. At once a period piece and a sci-fi film, Nova's narrative slowly devolves, and in the words of the artist, "The film has no sense of time, because the actors are always travelling between the past, present, and future."

Directed by Cao Fei
