Future in the Past

Animation | hdv | couleur | 7:7 | Allemagne | 2015

"Future in the Past" is a virtual time loop, that consists of only one continuous camera-drive without any cuts. The film is a journey through the realm of personal imagination and pictures, through surreal places and unexpected spaces. The style of the different interiors is a reminiscent of Edward Hopper`s paintings.
