We Should All Be Futurists

Directed by Angela Norelli

At the turn of the 20th century, in a suggestive correspondence spanning nearly two decades, Rosa confides in her friend Giorgina, telling her a secret: the machine-extended mechanical man envisioned by Marinetti is not a near-future concept for mankind, as Futurists purport. It is, instead, a very real present for womankind, and Giorgina can easily order a specimen in the mail. The entire short film was made by re-editing scenes from a number of silent films.
