Premiere Screening: A Long, Long Now

2018-Aug-30 @ 13:00 - 14:30

Free

In this hybrid documentary/narrative film, students of the Buffalo Youth Media Institute explored different possibilities of future and technology and how they relate to current uses and the equity of them. The film is a combination of interviews with future thinking artists and elected officials mixed with fantastical skits offering up future machines that can cure social, economic, or cultural ill's of our communities. The film's premise is that this project by the students, exploring hopes and fears about the future of technology, is found 300 years in the future by the culture that exists then. The film is put back together by these peoples and presented to the best of their understanding of our culture is at that time. This film is part fiction and part fact meant to leave us all thinking of what are role and narrative is when it comes to the future and equitable technologies that can benefit us all.
