I Saw The Future

In 1964, Arthur C. Clarke revealed his vision of the future to the BBC cameras. Famous for having collaborated with Stanley Kubrick on 2001: A Space Odyssey, the British author projected with astonishing precision the mutations brought about by the advent of the digital age. He glimpses the Internet, artificial intelligence, transhumanism and extends his vision far into space through future interstellar travel. By revisiting the signal transmitted by these first cathode-ray images, this experimental film in 3D virtual reality literally plunges us into the sound and visual matrix at the heart of this archive. I Saw The Future immerses viewers in a three-dimensional space that echoes the futuristic predictions of a visionary humanist scientist.
