THE FUTURE
Internationally-acclaimed artist, author and filmmaker Miranda July’s THE FUTURE, a critical standout at this year’s Sundance, Berlin and SXSW film festivals. With her first feature, ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE WE KNOW, writer-director July established an immediately identifiable voice-curious, playful, with an offbeat attunement to the particularities of modern life. In her wildly inventive-and remarkably poignant-sophomore film, she tells the story of a thirty-something couple who, on deciding to adopt a cat, change their perspective on life, literally altering the course of time and testing their faith in each other and themselves. THE FUTURE will open on July 29 in NY and August 5th in LA.

Sophie (Miranda July) and Jason (Hamish Linklater) live in a small LA apartment, have jobs they hate, and in one month they’ll adopt a sick cat who will need around-the-clock care. Terrified of their looming loss of freedom, they quit their jobs, disconnect their Internet, and set out to pursue their modest dreams. But as the month slips away, the two find themselves living in two starkly different realities. Sophie and Jason must reunite with time, space and their own souls in order to reconnect. Using elements of magical realism-a talking cat who narrates his own sad tale, a living t-shirt, and a strangely familiar Moon-the film bravely creates its own universe. With pathos and humor, it invites us to recognize the bitter sweetness of this very moment.
