Floating Prophecies (2015)
Collection of quotes about drones in sci-fi literature /vs/ contemporary youtube videos of drones
The figure of the drone serves as the starting point for this film, enabling it to explore the intersections that exist between fictional depictions arising from science-fiction literature and the actual advent of flying machines with camera vision in contemporary world, folklore and mythology.
By juxtaposing quotes from works from the previous century (1880 - 2000) with a selection of popular, recent videos that have been posted on video sharing websites, this film explores the grey zone between self-fulfilling prophecy and composite narratives.
