- "W.H. Auden called the postwar era, 'The Age of Anxiety.' It seems we're in another one now." - Steven Ascher. Between climate, politics, viruses and technology, we have a lot to fear. In his new short essay film LOOKING FORWARD, Oscar nominated and Emmy and Peabody winning filmmaker Steven Ascher explores how our feelings about the future affect how our lives unfold. It's about dealing with the dangers we notice and the ones we ignore. With stunning black-and-white stills, the film examines conflicted emotions through the expressionistic prism of AI. These uncanny AI images serve as a vehicle for traversing time and place, giving the film the aesthetic pull of great science fiction, but in this film, the science fiction is real. In LOOKING FORWARD, the past and the future are in constant conversation about the present, and what it can feel like to be alive right now.—Falco, Ink.
