124. Rocket Fuel 001: If You Try and Fall, I'll Save You
Documentary Drama Music2026•13min
Director: Elijah Winfield
The first in a planned trilogy of short films from director Elijah Winfield, Rocket Fuel 001 is a lo-fi, freeform odyssey through the art of connectivity, coping with lost love and an ongoing struggle with sense of self by means of vivid, stark-colored imagery and a soundscape heavily induced with breakbeat instrumentals.
Sámi reindeer herder Maia fights to protect her ancestral lands from a looming mining project. Amid the growing protests, she is also confronted with deeply buried family traumas. Maia is forced to make a decision.
Rosa, a contemporary music composer, agrees to give her first television interview at her colleague Tere’s apartment to keep it secret from her husband. What begins as a simple professional conversation turns into an absurd and comic portrait of rivalries and affections among three women—Rosa, Tere, and Tere’s daughter Luisa—interrupted by power outages, a constantly barking dog, and the visit of a famous composer. As the interview unravels, family and artistic tensions surface, revealing, with humor, both the fragility of prestige and the strength of complicity.
