Projections

Agnieszka Polska's film, Future Days follows a group of dead artists, former members of the 20th century neo-avant-garde, as they ceaselessly roam a deserted and surreal landscape in the afterlife. While wandering the group is seemingly incapable of creativity and are bound to spin a series of aimless philosophical objectives and ideas. The landscapes they traverse are as stark as they are lushly beautiful and throughout are punctuated with remnants of a once aesthetically invested built environment comprised of neo-avant-garde masterpieces.
