To tie in with the exhibition “What is the future?”, a series of free films brought to you straight from the future is on offer as part of the MEG’s famous Sunday film screenings.

The MEG is delighted to be partnering with FILMARcito, the children’s section of the FILMAR festival in Latin America, to bring you a series of short films from the future!

This series brings together five short films that explore the future as an imminent reality, an intimate and everyday construct that is profoundly human. With a dash of the absurd and a touch of the poetic or dreamlike, these works invite us to reflect on how we organise our lives, on the world of work, and on imaginary spaces.
From gestures repeated in a loop to the point of alienation to dreams that open up new possibilities, these animated films sketch a sensitive map of the future: a future made up of memory, desire and questions rather than certainties.
