We are living in a world of fast-paced and unpredictable change, where nobody knows what tomorrow will bring. It seems that expert predictions and forecasts have hijacked the future from imagination. Do we still need utopias and dystopias as we knew them in the twentieth century? Are architecture and cinema still able to express our dreams of the future? Which mediums accumulate visions of the future today and who creates those visions? Does "cinetecture" have a future, even if it has passed its golden age?
