Cinema Futures is a multilayered film essay about the future of cinema and film in the age of digitalized moving images. At a time when analogue film's disappearing quickly, new digital production methods are being employed, and digitalization's becoming the standard in cinema and broadcast TV, a great deal of our audiovisual memory could be lost. What will cinematic cultures of the future be like? Are the world's film archives facing a new dark age? Will film die out or just change?
