Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Here's a press release we received that doesn't need any embellishment. All the glory resides in the details, and I'll just lay it out flat for you. If you live in NYC, or plan on visiting this summer – hell, even if you were going to spend all of July and August locked in your room doing unthinkable things to yourself and desperately need an excuse to travel – this news is for you!

Future Imperfect: The Uncanny in Science Fiction, presented at The Museum of Modern Art from July 17 through August 31, will screen of 70 science-fiction films from all over the world — 22 countries including the United States, the Soviet Union, China, India, Cameroon, Mexico and beyond — that explore the question: what does it mean to be human? In a departure from other exhibitions of science-fiction cinema, Future Imperfect moves beyond space travel, visions of the distant future, alien invasions and monsters. Instead, all 70 films take place on Earth in the present (or near present), questioning our humanity in all its miraculous, uncanny, and perhaps unknowable aspects.

The exhibition spans the entire history of cinema, from Walter R. Booth’s The Over-Incubated Baby (1901) to Michael Almereyda’s Marjorie Prime (2017). The breadth of the series is also reflected in “The Fantastic Adventures of Georges Méliès, Buster Keaton and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, a special program of silent films from the past 100 years, accompanied on piano by Donald Sosin, that includes Georges Méliès’ The Conquest of the Pole (1912), Buster Keaton’s The Electric House (1922) and Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Vapour (2015).

Future Imperfect encompasses all genres, including animation (Richard Linklater’s A Scanner Darkly, Mamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, Nozim To’laho’jayev’s There Will Come Soft Rains, Suzan Pitt’s Visitation); faux documentary (Christopher Miles’ Alternative 3, Jan Sverák’s Oil Gobblers); documentary hybrid (Werner Herzog’s Fata Morgana and Lessons of Darkness, Frances Bodomo’s Afronauts, Ben Rivers’ Slow Action); experimental (Michael Snow’s *Corpus Callosum, Chris Marker’s La Jetée, Mike Kuchar’s The Craven Sluck), comedy (Buster Keaton’s The Electric House, Alexander Mackendrick’s The Man in the White Suit, Richard Lester’s The Bed Sitting Room, Harold Ramis’ Groundhog Day), horror (David Cronenberg’s Shivers and Videodrome, George A. Romero’s The Crazies, Krsto Papic’s The Rat Savior, Jean-Pierre Bekolo’s Les saignantes, Georges Franju’s Eyes without a Face), and the thriller (William Dieterle’s Six Hours to Live, Alain Resnais’ Je t’aime, je t’aime, Joseph Sargent’s Colossus: The Forbin Project, Kathryn Bigelow’s Strange Days, Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report, Alex Garland’s Ex Machina, Hongmei Zhang’s Death Ray on Coral Island, Nacho Viagalondo’s Los cronocrimines, Alex Proyas’ Dark City, and Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men).

Special guest presenters include the filmmakers Michael Almereyda (Marjorie Prime), Larry Fessenden (The Last Winter), Lynn Hershman Leeson (Seduction of a Cyborg and Teknolust), and John Sayles (The Brother from Another Planet) and the astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson (The Quiet Earth).
