Fantastic Fest 2023 is from September 21 to 28 and has so many movies that I can't wait to see. You can learn more about this movie and when it is playing here.
I'm obsessed by the idea of the ancient future, of movies that seem futuristic but were dated even at the time that they were made. Created by Amanda Kramer (Ladyworld) and narrated by Blondie's Debbie Harry, this film ties together so many of the classics -- and maybe not classics -- of high tech films. It's so intriguing to see them in this context, moments playing out and reminding you of a past that we lived through but still feels like a far off dream.
Films in this include 2001: A Space Odyssey, All the President's Men, Avalon, Blade Runner, Alita: Battle Angel, Arcade, Beyond the Mind's Eye, Brainscan, Brainstorm, Computer Dreams, Computers In Our Lives, Brilliance, The Cell, Club V.
