Future Perfect

About This Movie

Future Perfect is quite the curiosity from 1978, isn't it? It's an algorithmic film that plays with mathematical series, and the way it generates both visuals and sound is really something to behold. The rhythms emerge independently of the filmmakers' intentions, creating this strange, almost hypnotic atmosphere. You can really feel the experimental spirit of the time in how it unfolds—there's no traditional narrative, just this evolving tapestry of patterns. The preservation by the Academy Film Archive in 2007 means it's still around for us to explore, and it’s a fascinating piece for any collector interested in the boundaries of cinema and art. Definitely a unique slice of film history.

Future Perfect has had a bit of a mixed availability over the years, making it somewhat scarce on physical media. As it stands, collectors might find it primarily through archival releases or specialized screenings. Its unique approach to visual and auditory rhythms offers a stark contrast to conventional cinema, drawing interest from those fascinated by experimental works. The recent preservation has kept its legacy alive, and it often piques curiosity among those who appreciate the avant-garde side of film history.
