Future Scenarios three-channel film presents a loose imagining of the next 81 years. Through four sets of speculative events that unfold along multiple pathways to the future, the film's narrative imagines both difficult and improving scenarios. The speculative events were imagined in response to Shell’s Future Energy Use scenarios, The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s RCP scenarios, as well as indigenous cosmologies and scenarios developed on the ground with communities on the front lines of the climate crisis.  By presenting a coloured dot instead of a defined temperature marker we wished the viewer to imagine what the future may hold, as they subjectively interpret what temperature increase the dots from yellow to red may signify.
