It is 2024 and a Fugitive Musician Makes a Final Online Appearance


This short film says an awful lot about the nature of modern martyrdom. Envoi (meaning the verse or stanza which concludes a ballad) was written and directed by Jeremiah Gonda and Adrian Traurig.  A musician, opposed to the totalitarian regime under which he lives, makes a final broadcast to his fans after the execution of his band-mates. As well as being a pertinent slice of science fiction it has more than a little relevance in today’s age of web broadcast executions.
