If we can’t imagine a better future in these pessimistic times, how do we expect to build one?

Near and Elsewhere

Right now, as the societal future seems insecure and frightening, „Near and Elsewhere“ imagines another world. Renowned experts and the alter egos of the directors plot ways to get there, to utopia, that better place somewhere between fiction and reality.
