One of cinema's great short films. The tale of a doomed society of the future, and one man's futile attempts to save it, is told entirely in photographs bar one single moving shot. Haunting and poetic - moving without moving.
Dir. Chris Marker France 1962 28m

Thu 23 Apr, 8pm
A dazzling amalgam of film noir and science fiction in which a tough gumshoe turns inter-galactic agent to conquer a strange automated city from which concepts of love and tenderness have been banished. Godard turns contemporary Paris into an icily dehumanised city of the future.
Dir. Jean-Luc Godard France 1965 1h 39m Subtitled
Futurology Film & Events Programme
Futurology is the cultural investigation into how representations of the future affect the present. At Arnolfini it is presented as a research and exhibitions programme investigating envisionings of the future, looking at the role of architecture and the infrastructure of the built environment within this.
The Futurology exhibition programme, starts with The Good Life and continues with Tommy Støckel and Sequelism later in 2009.
