The Film to Come

The Film to Come presents a narrative centered around a secret society called the Philokinetes. This group is devoted to the viewing of a singular film fragment, which they believe possesses an existence independent of humanity. Their belief system suggests that cinema serves as the foundation for a new life form, emphasizing the transformative power of film.

As a short film, The Film to Come stands out for its abstract themes and the exploration of cinema beyond traditional storytelling. Its surreal concepts may appeal to collectors interested in experimental film and the philosophical dimensions of media. Beyond its narrative, the film reflects Ruiz's distinctive vision and his engagement with the nature of film itself, making it a significant piece within his oeuvre.
