Showcasing more than 35 works from countries including Australia, Japan, Austria, India, Germany, Canada, France, Taiwan and the UK, Experimenta Utopia Now critiques the scope for happiness on earth as we know it, pokes fun at social and physical boundaries and questions the human race’s ability to preserve itself.

From Capra to cannibalism, explore cinema’s greatest attempts to highlight the inevitable failures in humanity’s quest to manufacture utopia. Shown over three hot summer nights – don’t miss these iconic films on the big screen!
