2073 + Asif Kapadia Q&A

In an ingenious mixture of visionary science fiction and speculative nonfiction, Academy Award winner Asif Kapadia, director of AMY and SENNA envisions a future foreshadowed by the terrifying realities of our contemporary world. It's the year 2073, and the worst fears of modern life have been realised. Surveillance drones fill the burnt orange skies and militarized police roam the wrecked streets, while survivors hide away underground, struggling to remember a free and hopeful existence. Samantha Morton is a survivor besieged by nightmare visions of the past past that happens to be our present, visualized through contemporary footage interconnecting today's global crises of authoritarianism, unchecked big tech, inequality, and global climate change. 2073 is an urgent, unshakable vision of a dystopic future that could very well be our own. Followed by a live Q&A with director Asif Kapadia. About the Curator Tomisin Adepeju is a British-Nigerian filmmaker, writer and curator based in London.
