What happens in the 2073 trailer?
The 2073 trailer highlights how the film blends documentary style format with narrative storytelling in order to showcase the current state of the world and the possible apocalyptic outcome of these events. The genre-bending docufilm is written and directed by Oscar-winning director Asif Kapadia (Amy, Diego Maradona). It will be led by Samantha Morton (The Walking Dead), Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice), and Hector Hewer (The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself).
“It’s the year 2073, and the worst fears of modern life have been realized. Surveillance drones fill the burnt orange skies and militarized police roam the wrecked streets, while survivors hide away underground, struggling to remember a free and hopeful existence. In this ingenious mixture of visionary science fiction and speculative nonfiction, director Asif Kapadia transports us to a future foreshadowed by the terrifying realities of our present moment,” reads the synopsis. Morton plays a survivor besieged by nightmare visions of the past—a past that happens to be our present, visualized through contemporary footage interconnecting today’s global crises of authoritarianism, unchecked big tech, inequality, and global climate change. 2073 is an urgent, unshakable vision of a dystopic future that could very well be our own.”
