Futura (2021)
Are you more afraid of the past or the future? How important is education to you? How do you view adults? Three renowned Italian directors have made an engaging and timeless reportage with young people aged 15 to 20. It explores the state of mind of young Italians and seeks to answer how they see their future. Interviewing teenagers as they cross Italy, the boys and girls talk about where they live, their dreams, expectations, desires, and fears. They interview young residents of large cities and provincial villages from north to south. A penetrating portrait of one generation has adults look in the mirror as well. It encourages us to think about our parental and social roles. The filmmakers were inspired by the large investigative television shows of the 1960s and 1970s by renowned directors Mario Soldati and Luigi Comencini, of which we will see several examples in the film.
