Ridley Scott's cult film Blade Runner, based on a novel by Philip K. Dick and released in 1982, is one of the most influential science fiction films ever made. Its depiction of Los Angeles in the year 2019 is oppressively prophetic: climate catastrophe, increasing public surveillance, powerful monopolistic corporations, highly evolved artificial intelligence; a fantastic vision of the future world that has become a frightening reality.

A montage of images from the films of Swedish director Ingmar Bergman was created by Deutsche Kinemathek in Berlin in 2011. It was originally presented as a video installation projected onto four separate screens.
