No Men Beyond This Point is a 2015 Canadian comedy film directed by Mark Sawers. It was shown in the Vanguard section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival and acquired for distribution by Samuel Goldwyn Films (worldwide rights excluding Canada).
The film is a science fiction mockumentary set in an alternate timeline where in the 1950s, human females began reproducing by parthenogenesis. Nine months after a near-Earth object hit Earth in 1952, the first fatherless baby is born. Sexual reproduction became rarer and rarer, and the babies born by way of parthenogenesis were all female, so that by the 2010s (when the mock documentary is filmed), the youngest male human on Earth is 37 years old; he is the ostensible subject of the mock documentary.
At the 2015 Vancouver International Film Festival, the BC Spotlight jury offered an honourable mention to No Men Beyond This Point in the Best BC Film category. At the 2015 Other Worlds Austin SciFi Film Festival, No Men Beyond This Point won the Best Feature Audience Award and also won “Cthulhies” for Feature Script, Feature Actor, and Feature Editing.
