Кино Experimental Animation: Plans for tomorrow Kyiv 2023-10-05 20:00:00

Another day of war is easier to survive when you have plans for the future. The films of this programme show various things that are postponed for later: from the desire to take a routine walk around your city after the shelling to strategies for archiving and modelling an egalitarian world. Some of the works foster thoughts about the city of the future. What will it be like? Absorbed by claustrophobic buildings? Or will it be full of multiculturalism? Or, maybe, it will become an eco-utopia? Artificial intelligence – a frequent topic of speculation about the future – is also present in this selection. As a tool for creating animations and apparently a co-author, AI has its vision of the future. Despite the gloomy present, these films offer mostly an optimistic perspective on the future. Judging by one of the works: every battlefield will one day turn into a peaceful picturesque landscape.
