Dark Futures Film Club – FILTRATE

In Dark Futures Film Club – FILTRATE we see a future saturated with technology, where post-human figures interact using rune-like symbols on immersive social media platforms. The film, directed by Mishka Kornai, was created in the public spaces of Montréal’s underground Metro transit system.
The film’s creators explain their impetus for the short movie:

If people retreat into smaller and more idiosyncratic groups, what will the evolutionary trajectory of our society look like? As social groups diverge further and further over the course of generations, when does humanity cease to be just one species?

The film was shot entirely on iPhone 7 in the Montréal underground,  and you can also see how it was created with this video that delves into behind the scenes
