Director: Sophie Barthes
Production: Scope Pictures Belgium / Quad France
“Ahead of its premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, The Pod Generation took home the prize for the Alfred P. Sloan Award, which goes to a feature that contains themes related to science or technology. The film asks the very important yet simple question, “What if women did not have to carry babies and could grow them in pods instead?” Directed and written by Sundance alum Sophie Barthes, the film tackles parenting from a philosophical lens with a satirical approach that never runs out of steam. Barthes’ world building is sensational and includes a breathtaking production design from Clement Price-Thomas.” Patrice Witherspoon at Screen Rant
