The future cannot be predicted, but that is no reason not to try experimental film: reflections on 16mm, video and in 3D about the experience of time, the play with expectations and the desire to “see in a new way” develop. 'No Future' is dedicated to various facets of the future from the 1920s to the present 2020s.
Program curated by Karola Gramann, Heide Schlüpmann and Björn Schmitt. As part of the 17th LICHTER Filmfest

In particular, the printing of the final 16mm projection copy, after filming, editing and sound processing, has become a very difficult phase in terms of time and financing. To solve these problems, we plan to develop tools to make a less expensive original copy.
