‘Marked’
Channel 4 Random Acts
‘Marked’ (2019) is a Channel 4 Random Acts Short Film, written and directed by Euella Jackson and produced by Michael Jenkins.
Marked is set in a dystopian future/ universe where women are valuable and powerful creatures who are now close to extinction. There was a prophecy centuries before that foretold that women would become the sole habitants of the earth – as men would not have the capabilities to survive post-climate breakdown. In order to maintain patriarchal power, men killed, maimed and harvested most of the women left on the earth – therefore many of them died or went into hiding. For generations, these powerful female beings had to conceal their supernatural powers through fear of being caught and as a result, lost use of their powers. This is a film about a woman who get captured and through fear and torture, regains her supernatural insight and escapes.
