In ANCESTRAL VISIONS OF THE FUTURE, filmmaker Lemohang Mosese blurs the lines between reality and reconstruction. Through fragmented narratives and mythic imagery, Mosese reflects on dislocation and belonging, returning to his unnamed city – not for answers, but to remember himself. Yet, ANCESTRAL VISIONS OF THE FUTURE is more than a story of one man’s exile – it is an elegy for a city and a people caught between the weight of memory and the inevitability of loss and it is a poetic ode to cinema.

“The filmmaker’s decolonial approach is commendable. Fusing African storytelling traditions with avant-garde cinema, Mosese creates films that are more like rituals or dreams, reminiscent of the work of Djibril Diop Mambéty and Apichatpong Weerasethakul.” (www.moderntimes.review)
