Desc: Die vergangenen Zukünfte: Directed by Johannes Gierlinger. Past Futures is a political and poetic reflection on the nature and effects of revolutions. An exemplary starting point for this essayistic film is the March Revolution of 1848 in Vienna. What remains of a revolution? When is it considered to have failed and when and how are its achievements manifested? The film combines historical struggles with today's forms of resistance and reflects on how the practice of collective memory inscribes itself in the presence of a city and the actions of its residents. In view of current political developments, the film asks following Walter Benjamin: Do we have to protect the achievements of the past from the present?
