Nick Srnicek’s and Alex Williams’ Inventing the Future sparked widespread conversations about the future of society. By challenging the Left to rethink what politics could be, they leveled a charge that was met with praise and controversy. An imaginative polemic, Inventing the Future was never meant to be a final word – it was meant to be a launchpad.

Isiah Medina is a young and ambitious filmmaker. His debut feature, 88:88, irrupted through the festival circuit. After premiering at Locarno International Film Festival, 88:88 went on to play the New York Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, among others, and was met with stellar reviews by film critics, philosophers, cinephiles, activists, and dreamers alike. 88:88 is an experimental film about poverty, youth, media culture, philosophy, and the very medium of film itself.

Together they are creating a cinematic experience that will look to the future with unwavering optimism about what humans and technology can do, about how politics can create, and about what Life can become. Inventing the Future is a film unlike any other. It is from the future itself.

The future is already-but-not-yet. It will require collectivity to realize it. This film explores that process.
