Miranda July's The Future
See one of the most unique voices in independent cinema at ACMI.
Overview
Miranda July is on her way to Melbourne. The acclaimed writer, filmmaker, actor, artist and entrepreneur will speak at Melbourne Town Hall on Monday, March 7 about her eclectic body of work. And to celebrate, ACMI are screening her critically acclaimed dramatic comedy The Future, alongside her short film Getting Stronger Every Day.
Originally released in 2011, The Future is July's second feature film, and follows a 30-something couple (played by July and Hamish Linklater) whose decision to adopt a wounded cat (voiced by July) triggers an existential crisis of epic proportions. Whimsical and affecting, the film is a must for anyone who likes their movies a little out of the ordinary. ACMI will screen the film twice, at 7pm on Friday, February 26 and 5pm on Saturday, March 5.
