[Editor's note: Marina also loved the film at Viff]
One of the great things about Sci-Fi London is that it.s one of the few places you can see proper science fiction films. By this I don.t mean the special effects-laden space operas that have come to define the genre for some, but rather allegorical, politically driven satires reminiscent of its mid-twentieth century heyday; intelligent films with layers of meaning, exploring the present day by taking current issues into an exaggerated future. Transfer is one of those films.
In a future Germany, a wealthy, elderly couple decide to pay for a radical new technique to prolong their lives, by having their personalities transplanted into the bodies of two fit, young people in their twenties. The bodies. original personalities are overpowered and lay dormant. The young couple,...

[Editor's Note: Also be sure to read rochefort's review of the film from Fantastic Fest.]
Based on a story from award winning sci-fi author Elia Barceló, Transfer is director Damir Lukacevic’s first foray into the world of genre film making but aside from a few scenes peppered through out the film and the general concept, this isn’t so much a sci-fi film as a drama of what makes people individuals and a film which forces us to question the morality and benefits of the use of certain technologies.
Taking place in the near future, Lukacevic’s film works off of the concept that advances in technology have rendered death unnecessary. For those few rich enough to afford it (and willing), there’s an option to have their conscious transferred but not to a machine or a robot but into another human being.

Death is inevitable for us all. While some would like to live forever, some prefer to go when it’s their time. Those are the only two philosophies people have when it comes to death, mostly because there are simply no other options. Transfer, however, asks the question, “what if there were a way to prolong life?” It’s an extremely intriguing idea, and one that started out with boatloads of promise, but never executed the story to its merit.
