THE RIDE AHEAD

NY PREMIERE If you could go back in time and change the course of history, what would you do? Oscar-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia flips that idea on its head with a great deal more urgency: if we knew what the future would be, what could we do now? In this hybrid film, fictional footage from 50 years in the future is juxtaposed with documentary images from our present moment, following a cause-and-effect style of logic to some worrisome conclusions. Kapadia’s message: It's not too late! – Jaie Laplante

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director and writer Asif Kapadia.

NYC PREMIERE A visually stunning documentary that explores humanity’s relationship with architecture and the environment. Italian architect Michele De Lucchi reflects on the need for a new concept of beauty, as traditional grandiose structures and disposable concrete buildings become unsustainable. Through mesmerizing imagery of ancient ruins, modern cityscapes, and natural quarries, the film invites viewers to question the ecological impact of architecture on the world, without imposing definitive answers. - Ruth Somalo
