A documentary filmmaker portrays the present as it occurs in front of the filmmaker’s camera, or uses archival material to portray the past. But how can the same type of tool be used to portray the future without falling into fictional re-enactments and sci-fi clichés? This is the central inquiry in the research project The Future Through The Present, conducted by SKH Professor of Doumentary Film Erik Gandini, which is getting a major presentation on 30 September at Den Danske Filmskole.
