Generation of The Future

The world needs a new paradigm. Facing so many crises we can’t distinguish between our vs your problems - we have to act together and create a global community with a global idea of a new social contract. The visual philosophical essay called “Generation of The Future” is a form of invitation made by Polish artist and philosopher Aleksandra Hirszfeld to everyone who would like to take part in a global debate about this matter. Starting with answers from experts, philosophers, activists and people living in Poland the author is trying to build a vision of a better world with a collage of voices from the centre of Europe.

Director Statement

I strongly believe that all change begins with thinking it out aloud. We have to imagine the world we want to live in, then put our visions into words. To finally say it out loud. Shout it into space, affirm it, and above all, believe that this change is possible. Only then will our actions gain the proper power, will be energized with faith and vision so that they can be fulfilled.
– Aleksandra Hirszfeld
