Protozoa

Year: 1993

Runtime: 22 mins

Language: English

Director: Darren Aronofsky

Drama

The AFI short by Darren Aronofsky opens on angry slacker Dave in a bleak junkyard, staring into space, sipping beer and beating a cracked guitar. His idle habits—weed, endless TV, watching schoolchildren—mirror the dump’s emptiness. Friends Pete and Ari appear; Ari mocks them as losers yet accomplishes little. The trio drifts aimlessly, likened to amoebas, the protozoa of life.
