La classe Brand New 2016/2018 della Scuola Holden di Torino, in collaborazione con le classi di Cinema e Reporting, presenta il Flash Forward Short Film Festival, che si terrà nel General Store della scuola il 7 e 8 aprile 2018.
Il festival è dedicato ai cortometraggi che hanno come tema o sono ambientanti nel futuro.
Il festival è strutturato in due giornate, una dedicata ai film di oggi che immaginano il mondo, le relazioni e l’ambiente del domani e una dedicata ai film del passato che disegnavano futuri possibili.
Di fronte all’ondata di prodotti culturali influenzati dalla nostalgia degli anni ’80 e ’90, vogliamo proporre uno sguardo verso ciò che sarà, perché il futuro non è scritto ma può essere immaginato. Il festival, tuttavia, non cerca necessariamente film di fantascienza, ma opere che
si pongano la domanda di come sarà la vita nei prossimi decenni.
