2073
The BAFTA-winning director Asif Kapadia’s “Urgent” & “Powerful” call to action, 2073, is coming to UK & Irish cinemas. Get the details here.
Altitude will release the visionary documentary 2073 from Academy Award®-winning and BAFTA-winning director Asif Kapadia (AMY, DIEGO MARADONA) in UK & Irish cinemas on 1 & 2 January 2025 with a theatrically exclusive Q&A between Kapadia and author and journalist, Carole Cadwalladr.
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.
PREMISE
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, Kapadia 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. 2073 is an urgent, unshakable vision of a dystopic future that could very well be our own.
NEON will be releasing 2073 in US cinemas from December 27 2024 and are handling international sales.
