Dominant Species is a remarkable short film that mashes up queer themes with absurdist comedy and even incorporates elements from performance dance film. That its wide-ranging influences sit with perfect comfort inside a schlocky sci-fi premise is a testament to the flexibility of speculative fiction but, even more so, it demonstrates the uniquely subversive power of the genre. Sci-fi may preoccupy itself with the future, but it always really about the present, and director Joseph Sackett has crafted a deeply resonant film that fruitfully engages with contemporary discourses surrounding identity and its social construction. These themes seem heavy for a short film, but Sackett naturally weaves them into the narrative as to not conflict with its inherent entertainment value.
The films opens with 10 glowing balls of energy (very sperm-like in their form) descending upon the blue marble of Earth. Entering a non-descript room, they possess the bodies of 10 males arranged on the floor. An unseen voice directs their actions as the aliens are instructed on how to acclimate to their new bodies. Tellingly, their first directive is “to dominate” as they immediately set upon one another violently.
