September 2, 2024 -- NEON has revealed the trailer and poster for 2073, from Academy Award-winning director Asif Kapadia and starring Samantha Morton. 2073 is an urgent, unshakable vision of a dystopic future that could very well be our own.

It’s the year 2073, and the worst fears of modern life have been realized. Surveillance drones fill the burnt orange skies, and militarized police roam the wrecked streets while survivors hide away underground, struggling to remember a free and hopeful existence.

In this ingenious mixture of visionary science fiction and speculative nonfiction, filmmaker Asif Kapadia (Amy) transports us to a future foreshadowed by the terrifying realities of our present moment.

Two-time Academy Award nominee Samantha Morton (In America, Sweet and Lowdown, Minority Report) plays a survivor besieged by nightmare visions of the past—a past that happens to be our present, visualized through contemporary footage interconnecting today’s global crises of authoritarianism, unchecked big tech, inequality, and global climate change.

NEON, Double Agent, and Film4 co-financed and executive-produced the film, which will premiere out of competition at the 81st Venice International Film Festival on September 3, 2024. Kapadia (Senna, Diego Maradona) and George Chignell are the producers.
