Dystopian drama looks at where current events and politics could lead over the next few decades. Starring Samantha Morton.
It’s the year 2073, the worst fears of modern life have been realized. Surveillance drones fill the burnt orange skies and militarized police roam the wrecked streets, while survivors hide away underground, struggling to remember a free & hopeful existence.
Followed by live Q&A with director Asif Kapadia

There’s a feature in The Guardian on 2073 here, from which:
“It’s a dazzlingly creative work. Kapadia started out directing fictional features but he is best known for his hugely popular and critically acclaimed sort-of trilogy of documentaries: Senna, Amy, Diego Maradona. He pioneered a new aesthetic: gorgeously cinematic and defiant of the usual rules. And until 2073, in which he broke his own rule, his documentaries involved no talking heads, just archive overlaid with the voices of those who knew his subjects best, racing driver Ayrton Senna, singer Amy Winehouse and footballer Diego Maradona.”
This film has a (15) certificate as it includes: “violence, threat, injury detail, distressing scenes, very strong language”
“Combining hard-hitting and upsetting real footage of global catastrophes and injustices with scenes of futuristic drama, this intense dystopian documentary contains unflinching moments of violence and some distressing images.”

See Access, Tickets & Finding Us for more about why there are three ticket prices, plus other useful info about coming to events at Ashburton Arts Centre: getting here, parking, loos, PA tickets, etc.
* We usually have three ticket prices – please pay what you can. If you can pay the full price, that’s great. If choosing a cheaper ticket allows you to come to more things, then please do! Ticket receipts are split between the artists (it’s usually their livelihood!) and the arts centre (keeps the place going). Except on the rare occasions when we have a sellout gig on our hands, it’s always better to have someone here in the audience than an empty seat, so genuinely, please pay whatever you can.
