爱的未来 (2013)
Future My Love Douban
玛雅·博格 actor: Daniel Bedford / 玛雅·博格 …
other title: Future My Love / 我爱的未来
《爱的未来》讲述了一个独特的爱情故事,它挑战着人们在追寻自由过程中共同的以及个人的乌托邦理想。在即将失去自己的一生挚爱之时,电影制作人Maja Borg透过2008年金融崩溃,带我们踏上了一场诗意的长途旅行,去探索一种截然不同的经济社会模式(该模式由95岁的未来主义者Jacque Fresco提出)。我们愿意给自己爱的人多少自由?我们准备为社会负多少责任? 该片穿插了档案影像资料,超8毫米胶片拍摄片段,同时也对许多当代人物进行了正式采访(采访均由Borg本人亲自完成,因此她在片中也占有重要分量),并展示了一系列与Fresco的对话。电影旨在对人类的未来进行一次诗意的思考。这个目的偶尔得到了成功实现,但电影还是不时会在Borg对爱之终结的讨论与科学家对3D打印、自由能源运动(Free Energy Movement)等主题的讨论之间找不准平衡。不过,这部纪录片原本就不属于正统的类型。导演Borg试图用自己的爱情议题来解读这个世界的议题,这种尝试在某种程度上还是成功的。此外,影片的画面也引人入胜。

Paradise or Oblivion (2012)
Paradise or Oblivion Douban
Roxanne Meadows actor: 雅克·法斯科 / Roxanne Meadows
other title: 天堂或遗忘 / 乐园或湮灭
Paradise or Oblivion is a free online documentary created by The Venus Project. Original music by Carly Paradis ( ) from her album "They Have Been Watching". This documentary details the root causes of the systemic value disorders and detrimental symptoms caused by our current established system. This video presentation advocates a new socio-economic system, which is updated to present-day knowledge, featuring the life-long work of Social Engineer, Futurist, Inventor and Industrial Designer Jacque Fresco, which he calls a Resource-Based Economy. The film details the need to outgrow the dated and inefficient methods of politics, law, business, or any other "establishment" notions of human affairs, and use the methods of science, combined with high technology, to provide for the needs of all the world's people. It is not based on the opinions of the political and financial elite or on illusionary so-called democracies, but on maintaining a dynamic equilibrium with the planet that could ultimately provide abundance for all people. Paradise or Oblivion, by The Venus Project, introduces the viewer to a more appropriate value system that would be required to enable this caring and holistic approach to benefit human civilization. This alternative surpasses the need for a monetary-based, controlled, and scarcity-oriented environment, which we find ourselves in today. *This is NOT the "major motion picture" that The Venus Project is working towards but rather is a 48 minute documentary to introduce the aims and proposals to new people.

Future by Design (2006)
Future by Design Douban
other title: 设计未来
Future by Design shares the life and far-reaching vision of Jacque Fresco, considered by many to be a modern day Da Vinci. Peer to Einstein and Buckminster Fuller, Jacque is a self-taught futurist who describes himself most often as a "generalist" or multi-disciplinarian -- a student of many inter-related fields. He is a prolific inventor, having spent his entire life (he is now 90 years old) conceiving of and devising inventions on various scales which entail the use of innovative technology. As a futurist, Jacque is not only a conceptualist and a theoretician, but he is also an engineer and a designer.
