Memory Dealers' is a sci-fi meets gangster film about a dystopian / utopian world in the near future. When, at the hands of shrewd businesspeople and the forces of an entity, the memories of the residents of The City are reset, Teo and her friends just manage to escape and flee. As mayor, Teo feels responsible for the well-being of the residents. They arm themselves with home-brewed psychedelics to free people from their memoryless state, but struggle with the downside of their hedonistic existence themselves. When Teo succumbs to a thirst to proof herself, the plan is in danger of failing.  

Studio Ruba produced this 45-minute film on behalf of VPRO and as part of Koolhoven Presents. The film will world premiere at IFFR 2024 in the Harbour Section
