NEON has released the trailer for 2073, the upcoming genre-bending documentary movie, which hails from British filmmaker Asif Kapadia. The film currently has no theatrical release date but will make it’s debut at 81st Venice International Film Festival.
The docufilm is written and directed by Asif Kapadia. It will be led by Samantha Morton, Naomi Ackie, and Hector Hewer.
“It’s the year 2073, and the worst fears of modern life have been realized. 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. In this ingenious mixture of visionary science fiction and speculative nonfiction, director Asif Kapadia transports us to a future foreshadowed by the terrifying realities of our present moment,” reads the synopsis. Morton plays a survivor besieged by nightmare visions of the past—a 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.”
