Post-Film Discussion with Filmmaker Asif Kapadia moderated by Boston Globe correspondent Natalia Winkelman

It’s the year 2073, and the worst fears of modern life have been realized. In this ingenious mixture of visionary science fiction and speculative nonfiction, Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia (Amy) transports the audience to a future foreshadowed by the terrifying realities of our present moment. Two-time Academy Award® nominee Samantha Morton (In America) 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. Challenging documentary conventions with nods to Chris Marker’s influential classic La Jetée, 2073 is an urgent, unshakable vision of a dystopic future that could very well be our own.
