🎬 Final Obscura (James Fotopoulos, 2024)

James Fotopoulos | 2024 | USA | 71’ | no dialogue

The past, present and future. Final Obscura is a visionary film that unfolds on a space where the lines between past, present, and future dissolve into a single, phantasmic experience—an Exquisite Corpse of perception, desire, and transcendent imagination. The film submerses the viewer in a captivating, liminal dimension where the waking and dreaming worlds merge, inviting us to reflect on the nature of time, and the anamorphic emerging worlds of the anamnesis expression in seeing the sound.

The films of James Fotopoulos have screened widely including the Whitney Biennial, Sundance Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, London Film Festival, Festival del Film Locarno, Walker Art Center, Museum of Modern Art, Andy Warhol Museum, Museum of Art and Design, Museum of the Moving Image, MOMA PS1, etc. His work has been discussed in Artforum, The New York Times, The Village Voice, Film Comment, Filmmaker Magazine, New York Post, and others. In 1998 he founded Fantasma for the production of his second feature Migrating Forms (1999).
