2073 blends compelling archive footage and commentary with sci-fi drama in this vital cinematic warning from a dystopian future to tackle the biggest challenges endangering our present day and the existence of humanity.
It’s the year 2073 where the worst fears of modern life have been realised. Surveillance drones fill the burnt orange skies and militarised police roam the wrecked streets, while humans hide away underground, struggling to remember a free and hopeful existence. In this ingenious mixture of visionary science fiction and nonfiction, Academy Award® and BAFTA winner, Asif Kapadia (Senna, Amy) transports us to a future foreshadowed by the terrifying realities of our present. Academy Award® nominee Samantha Morton (Minority Report) plays a survivor besieged by nightmare visions of the past—a past that happens to be our present, visualised through contemporary footage interconnecting today’s global crises of authoritarianism, unchecked big tech, inequality, and our global climate crisis.
