Join us at the e-flux Screening Room rooftop for This Was Tomorrow, a screening series presenting cinematic visions of the future that illuminate and comment on our present-day realities.

The films and videos in this series challenge common perceptions of time, identity, technology, and community, in a curated selection that invites thoughtful reflection while also promising entertainment.

Each evening will present a thematic pairing of an artist film(s) with a cinema feature, showcasing the diverse and innovative possibilities of science-fiction storytelling.

Screenings take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from July 16–25, 2024, and begin after sunset.

With Peggy Ahwesh, Neïl Beloufa, Claire Denis, Mati Diop, Maha Maamoun, Isadora Neves Marques, Jesse McLean, Alain Resnais, Ben Rivers, Larissa Sansour.
