An unconventional documentary that speaks to us from the future about the difficulties tarnishing our present. 2073 is pure horror science fiction. A glimpse of the world to come if we don’t take action. Ghost lives isolated from the system in a dystopian New San Francisco in the year 2073. The world is controlled by ultraliberals, dictators, and tech geeks. There is no dissent, no freedom. Everyone is monitored, people continue to disappear, and Ghost has only a few days left. Through a mix of archival footage and narrative fiction crossing different genres, Ghost witnesses the terrifying dangers awaiting us: the decline of democracy, the rise of neofascism, the climate disaster, and the spread of surveillance systems. This is not science fiction. It’s the world we live in.
The film is being released in theaters with the support of Amnesty International Italy, which has decided to endorse the release with the following statement: “This film serves as a warning about the complete collapse of the human rights protection system, of which we are already partial witnesses today: attacks on civilian populations, repression of individual and collective freedoms, autocracies and technocracies, environmental devastation, and the progressive loss of humanity and compassion. 2073 shows a future we cannot and must not reach, but it also tells us that the present we are living in is the last call for a necessary collective awareness.
The cinema release of “2073” with Filmclub Distribuzione on June 16th, 17th, and 18th will be preceded by special previews with director Asif Kapadia, which will take place on the following dates:
