Next Floor

Abstract

Over the past few decades, movies have ventured into the area of meaningful portrayal of societal constructs and resulting consequences of overconsumption. Next Floor is a short film which aims to highlight the upcoming void owing to depletion of resources followed by a downfall in civilization. This is depicted in the movie in the form of a banquet hall with people from the Proletariat class catering to people from the Bourgeoisie class. Using the method of content analysis, various perspectives are generated centered on the theme of overconsumption and resulting degradation of civilized behavior.
