It’s the year 2073, and the worst fears of modern life have been realized. Surveillance drones fill the burnt orange sky, militarized police patrol the rubble-strewn streets, and survivors hide underground, struggling to remember a free and hopeful existence. In this clever blend of visionary science fiction and speculative nonfiction, Academy Award-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia (Amy) transports us to a future foreshadowed by the horrific realities of our present moment. Two-time Academy Award nominee Samantha Morton (In America, Sweet and Low, Minority Report) stars as a survivor besieged by nightmarish visions of the past–a past that is our present, visible today through interconnected contemporary scenes. Global crises of authoritarianism, unchecked big technology, inequality, and global climate change. 2073 is an urgent, unflinching vision of a dystopian future that could be our own.
