The 2173 in the name of this blog refers to the year, 2173. The year was 200 years in the future from 1973, when the futurist comedy "Sleeper"was made.
Turns out, it's 100 years too late. There's a movie out (coming out) called 2073 that uses real-life footage from today's news to tell a story of a future apocalyptic hellscape. It caught my attention because of the title and because I'd been outlining a piece of fiction using the same primary sources.
"2073 is a 2024 British science fiction docudrama film directed by Asif Kapadia. Set in a dystopian future, the film is inspired by Chris Marker's 1962 featurette La Jetée. It follows a time traveller who risks his life to change the course of history and save the future of humanity.
The documentary premiered out of competition at the 81st Venice International Film Festival on 3 September 2024."
You're welcome. Maybe 2173 will be when things turn again from the bleakness to something good.
